My web server is running on Ubuntu Linux. The user www-data is able to create directories inside the /data/ directory but the permissions on a newly created directory is 345.
How can I make the default permissions for a directory created by the user www-data in /data/ 774?
The folder owner is www-data and the user group is www-data.
I've tried doing the following:
sudo setfacl -dR -m g::rwx,u::rwx /data/
sudo chmod -R 774 /dataCould it be umask related?
My
getfacloutput is as follows:getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: data/
# owner: www-data
# group: www-data
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
user:www-data:rwx
user:ubuntu:rwx
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::rwx
How can I achieve this?

My answer would indeed be "umask". With umask you indicate what permissions should be removed. In your case, 3.
umask 003
www-data needs to set that before creating files or directories.

how would you set umask for specific user "www-data" per directory ? Thanks

It's not set "per directory". Once set, it's effective for all new directories and files created. For a normal user account, you'd set this in his profile. But www-data is a service user, a daemon. I suppose we're talking about Apache, httpd? What process is actually creating the new directories?

yes it's Apache httpd, and it's using mkdir
– Asma.Said

I know Apache rather well, but still don't know how you could do a "mkdir", which is a shell command. Can you explain?
