How to change the default umask for Apache/Php

Apache/Php umask determines the permissions for the newly created files. On a VPS / Dedicated server you can change the umask to suit your specific needs by editing:

/usr/local/apache/bin/envvars

There you should add:

umask 022

Right after that restart Apache and Apache/Php's default umask will become 22.

If you need a fully managed Dedicated server or VPS please check our dedicated hosting offers.
