Hopefully this is posted in the correct board.

Just noticed that any plugin that is uploaded as a zip has it's folder owned by apache. So when you uninstall and then click to delete the plugin from the server nothing happens. The only way I could delete the folder was to ssh into my server and chown it to the domain's user. This seems to be because the folder is created with permissions 755. Other folders created by CPG are owned by apache but chmod 777 and can be deleted as normal.

Not a huge problem but it could be an issue for folks with limited webspace and no access to take ownership of the folder.

Did a search and couldn't find mention of this anywhere so I thought to post it here.

Strange. I could understand different server configurations having something besides apache for owner, but not sure why I would get files chmodded 755 only for plugins folders created by the plugin manager when unzipping. Must be a config issue on my server I guess.

Yes it's possible.

This entire issue is not related to coppermine, but to the way you set up your webserver. Contact your webhost if you need to see this changed.

Not worth my time to try and fix the issue if it is just on my server. Can easily be worked around by using ftp to upload plugins. Ownership of the created folders by apache is expected and desired. Only 755 being used instead of 777 is a small problem.

Only reported it because I thought it was a general issue. Thanks for your time.
