One silly chmod question

["Fábio Jr."]

Hello,

You could try to do the inverse. Put the apache user in the group of 
user1, that you use to make the upgrades. Set the owner of the files to 
user1 and allow then be edited by group (g+w). So the apache user can 
read and execute the files.

If you use any king of upload function, or any other thing that makes 
apache to write files, add group write permission to the directory where 
appache will write.

Other solution is to write a script that executes every 1|5|15|30 min 
(your choice) via crontab, that perform a chown in the directory you 
want to change ownership.
