[pmwiki-users] setting permissions after a server crash

[John Coxon]

My host, once again has suffered a crash. This time his hard drive died 
and he was unable to rescue a copy of my site.

He set up a new drive for me to upload my backup to (lucky me I have a 
recent one!). After upload all files and folders are set:

						perms		owner	group
wiki/	    	    				drwxr-xr-x	myacct	myacct
	wiki.php				-rw-r--r--		myacct	myacct
	wiki.d/				drwxr-xr-x	myacct	myacct
		Main.HomePage	-rw-r--r--		myacct	myacct
		
After the earlier crash he changed all files and folders to group = 
apache. This worked but I have no idea if it was good practice. Should 
I have him do this for me again or is there a better solution? My host 
is most gracious and accopmodating but I can envision the day when I 
might change hosts and have to upload my site to a new server and it 
would be great not to have to rely on host personnel.
