Howto manage website and user permissions with apache on Mac os X
- by Sander Versluys
I have lots of different websites in a Development directory in my home dir.
While developing, files get saved under my username but websites configured under apache it's permission need to be set as _www user and group.
What's the best way to handle this?
Do I run apache under a different user/group?
Do I run my development tools under a different user?
Do add myself to the _www group? (seems like it doesn't work btw)
I've just switched to a mac and I'm trying to find a smooth development workflow, so it would be best if i could just run the necessary tools, save some files and be able to test the website without much hassle.
Thanks!
