It would be unusual for the user called apache not to be in any groups at all. Sounds like you should really be talking to your system adminstrator at this point. It's all pretty specific to the way the system is set up. You need the user who is running the webserver to be able to read the file. Since the settings file is semi-sensitive because it contains things like the server-side secret and database password, it makes sense not to make it world readable. However to make it group readable by the appropriate user, that user has to be in a group you can set as the group owner of the file. So you need to know the right user and the right group. Take those questions to the sys-admin for the system and they should be able to help you out. > Would transferring files via FTP cause this issue? When I said in the last email that I wasn't going to guess about this, which part of that did you misunderstand? I'm serious: I'm not going to guess, because it could be a number of things and I really don't want to play remote sysadmin for a system and set of client and server tools I don't know anything about. It's been years since I've done anything non-trivial with FTP beyond downloading data from remote systems.
