Directories come as 0755, not 0775 (+sticky bits).

I do not think so, not at ALL. I have not tested, but I think the following problem still remains: 1- Joomla/some other web application creates something on the disk 2- Now the file is owned by apache:apache 3- The dumb Joomla-"coder" comes complaining that he/she can not upload something (FTP) since the FTP process is user:psacln and the file/dir owner is apache:apache still 4- Already completely overworked admin needs to chown/chgrp, again, completely the same as before How is this “perfect”?

When I log into the server using PuTTY I do not see the same directory structure for my domains. I am new to Linux hosting so I may just be missing the whole picture somehow. I would really like to be able to control the permissions in my Joomla! sites and be able to FTP to the Joomla! directories. Any help would be apprecitated. I am using Plesk 8.2.1 and Joomla.

Now that PHP Safe Mode is off, these steps are working like a champ! Thanks. This didn’t work for me until I turned off PHP safe mode.
