I am running a cakephp webapp on Linode LAMP. I am finding that my temp files are created with root:root ownership. But the webapp is running with Apache's permissions (www-data). This causes warnings any time there is a new file created because it is not writable for user www-data.

How do I change the default ownership to www-data on any new files created in the temp folder?

Thanks for your help!
