[BlueOnyx:00674] Re: File uploads and PHP settings

[Brian Santee]

What I do is chown -R apache:apache all the files in the web directory  
of the site, then everything can be managed through the CMS, since the  
php runs as the user apache anyway. This works for Joomla sites  
anyway. I also turn safe mode off.
