user privileges for apache
 
I'm using ubuntu 10.04. Apache server is associated with www-data
I frequently run into problems editing or deleting files created by
a cgi script, as they have ownership of www-data:www-data.
How can I safely modify my system so that the output files
are editable or deletable by user tim?
thanks
tim

Are the files group-writable? Add tim to the www-data group.
