I have a server running Gentoo and hosting a drupal installation. Whenever a Drupal update is executed, the directory permissions of the updated module turn from 755 to 744 preventing the application from accessing the files. The umask is defined as 022 under /etc/profile and the Apache server is running under user and group nobody.

I believe this has nothing to do with the drupal installation since if I create a directory as root, the same happens, it is created with 744 permissions, since the umask is 022 shouldn't it be created as 755 ?

Why is the umask being ignored and how do I tell the server to create the directories with permission 755 ?

  • Are you updating drupal through drupal itself?

  • What version of Drupal? 7.x? Have you tried, just for fun, to grep -ir "chmod" /path/to/your/drupal?

    Do you run mod_umask or PHP through suPhp or similiar? these modules are setting the umask.

    This doesnt explain how when youre in the shell as root with a umask of 022, files are created as if umask were 033...

As per my answer to your question: check the configuration of the running Apache modules (specifically mod-umask and suphp) for umask settings.
