To start,

Everytime I upload a file to my apache web server, the file is not useable by the server due to it's permissions being denied. As a developer this is very frustrating because I do not want to run sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www everytime I upload a file.

Since I do not have access to tune2fs or 'mount' on my VPS, ACL is out of the question. I have been trying to use the following post, however no luck.

Anyone have any ideas on how every new file can inherit the parent's permissions?
