Hi,
We need to install Drupal on a server configured with mod_php.
Meaning the files run as nobody:nobody and as 777.

Now it seems Drupal has problems with this for private files and Backup_migrate, and others.

QUESTION: Is there a white paper or article of installing in such environment? Just so we can move on with this development?

thanks!

I recently asked my host to install APC and since is uses DSO (mod_php) I ran into file permission issues for public, private, and tmp folders. I cannot install modules/themes and boost cannot write static pages.

I've been searching for a best practices on file permissions so I can still reap the performance benefit of mod_php.

I don't have access to ssh, so I have to submit tickets with specific instructions. A how to / tutorial would be great.

Have you found anything since this post?

Thanks,

Jovan
