I'm having a problem with my vps and I think it has to do with a directadmin configuration setting or something.

I've got some sites setup on my server that run Joomla. Whenever I go to install a component or plugin (done via a browser installation screen), it uploads the component to the server but when it creates the appropriate directories (ie. administrator/components/com_somecomp) it sets the user as apache instead of my username of the owner of the site.

There is two problems with this:

1. I think it could be a security issue as all sites within my directadmin would then have access to this folder through the browser.

2. Whenever I try to edit that component or use it, I have to SSH in and manually change the owner to that particular directory.

Can anyone tell me how to set it up so this doesn't happen??
