Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 13.04 and up (including the latest version of Ubuntu 14.04 x86
and x64 versions), the /etc/apache2/envvars file has the following line
at the bottom of the file:
"umask 111"
This needs to be removed, or files will not be able to be uploaded into
the /tmp directory on the file system with the appropriate permissions
they need. I have a php update script that attempts to store the latest
files in the /tmp directory, but with the umask set to 111, it fails
with a generic error message that the access is denied and the file
cannot be created. Once this line is removed, and apache2 is restarted,
everything works properly again.
I've noticed that when an update for Apache2 is released, it will "add"
the umask 111 line back to the end of the file. Updates should not
overwrite your settings, and this line should not even be in the
envvars file to begin with.
1. Ubuntu 14.04 x64
2. Version
apache2:
Installed: 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1
Candidate: 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1
Version table:

3. No umask should be specified in envvars file by default nor should a umask
of 111 be readded / set to the envvars configuration when an update exists for
the apache2 package.
4. I removed the umask 111 line in the configuration. When an update was
installed, it was readded to the envvars configuration which messed up my
files' default permissions.
