Permission Issues - SugarCRM CE

[jjwdesign]

This is configuration issue that I'm trying to figure out once and for all. I'm using the SugarCRM CE with Linux/Apache/MySQL. I've always had issues with the ModuleBuilder because of file/directory permissions. Something just it's right on my system. Maybe someone can shed some light on some of the config settings.

 'default_permissions' => 
array (
'dir_mode' => 0775,
'file_mode' => 0664,
'chown' => 'apache',
'chgrp' => 'apache',
'user' => 'apache',
'group' => 'apache',
  ), 
  

I've seen some notes about the Pro edition and using the decimal values for the octal permission values. Is this the same with the CE? Should I be using the decimal values (509 and 436) instead of the octal values (0775 and 0664)?

Also, I'm running the Apache (PHP) server as 'apache'. I noticed that in the original config file there's user/group settings. In the /includes/utils.php file there's two places where 'default_permissions' shows up. Around line 132, I see chown/chgrp (function make_sugar_config). Around line 229, I see user/group (function get_sugar_config_defaults). Is this a typo?

And, one other thing. If my umask on my system is set to 0002, should I just remove the dir_mode/file_mode settings from the config file?

I guess this wasn't such a bad question afterall. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Decimal values or octal values in the config for SugarCRM CE?
