Problem with PHP script and linux permissions

Techmonkey

I had a bunch of scripts written that uploaded photos, then had Image Magick duplicate and resize them. This all worked fine on the last server, but on my new Linux machine problems have arisen.

Now when a photo is uploaded, the thumbnail created has the proper ownership (same as the upload script), but the larger version of the photo is owned by nobody - and no other user can access it. This causes problems when certain applications try to access the photos.

Any idea how to fix this problem of ownership?

you'll need to chown on the larger pictures so that your other apps can use em

The reason there are owned by nobody is cause that is what your webserver is probably set to run as

I did chown the files - but the utility of the site administrator utility is ruined if I have to chown the files every time an administrator uploads them.

Why the irregularity? Any idea why the same script would create files of varying ownership?
