Brian,
You're not doing anything wrong. Apache runs as www-data in Ubuntu, so any
file created by Apache will belong to that owner:group.
Add yourself to the www-data group and life will become easier.
Cheers - Miles

I know this is not quite on topic but I do not know where else to turn. I
needed to reinstall ubuntu and now I cannot change myself to be the owner of
var www. I had been able to change myself to the owner of it and create,
delete and modify any files I wanted before I had to reinstall. Now it seems
the change is not taking effect. What happens is I use the sudo chown
command and it shows that I am the owner. I have a script that creates a
file when I go to the page and it creates a file and has www-data as the
owner, not me. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Brian
