Ok,

Yikes.  I do not think I have PHP-FPM configured correctly. I think I am 
close.  I have worked on this for an embarrassing maybe as much as 40 
hours.  Yikes!!  I

My PHP-FPM user and group is a user named lamp.  lamp has ssh but not 
sudo.

To the mix 3 things:

1 and 2) Set Ownership and Permissions

      – sudo usermod -aG lamp www-data
      – sudo chown -R lamp:lamp /var/www/lamp.internal
      – sudo find /var/www/lamp.internal -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
      – sudo find /var/www/lamp.internal -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

      Notice I added lamp to the Apache group and set the directory 
permissions to 775.

3) Added "php_admin_value[umask] = 0022" to  
/etc/php/8.3/fpm/pool.d/lamp.conf

     - viewable in a browser.
     - PHP info sows “Server API” with the value: “FPM/FastCGI”
     – Connect via Filezilla as user lamp. I am able to download and 
upload. New upload files are owned by lamp:lamp.
     – Able to SSH as user lamp.
     – Able to use Visual Studio Code add/edit/delete/save as user lamp. 
New upload files are owned by lamp:lamp.

Really happy so far.  I spend a ton of time with ChatGPT to get to this 
place.

Here is the problem.

When I run a PHP script to create a file, the file is owned by Apache - 
www-data:www-data.  I need it to be owned by lamp.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
Keith
