Description Horst Prote 2015-07-16 09:13:17 UTC
In /etc/vhosts/webapp-config it says:
# which user & group should own the files by default?
#
# the default is for files to be owned by the superuser root, so that
# they cannot be tampered with by other users
#
# this setting affects the files and directories installed by the ebuild,
# and it affects some directories created by webapp-config.  It does not
# affect any of the files installed by webapp-config at this time.

vhost_default_uid="root"
vhost_default_gid="root"

But it _does_ affect _all_ of the files installed by webapp-config:
After setting both variables to "apache" all files (except .webapp*) are installed with owner and group apache.

Reproducible: Always
