"Purge" in admin-bar does not work when PHP user != HTTP user

    I’ve noticed that the menu item “Purge” from the admin-bar does not work if the PHP process runs under a different user than the HTTP server. Change permissions on the cache path does not prevent this error from recurring because newly generated cache directories get set to 700 again by nginx.

    Warning: opendir(/var/run/nginx-cache/4): failed to open dir: Permission denied in /<path>/wp-content/plugins/nginx-helper/purger.php on line 686

    You can add PHP user to HTTP user group.

    Then you can change UMASK setting so permission gets set to 775 on cache folder.

    Are you using SE-Linux?

    FreeBSD. The PHP user and the HTTP user already share the group, but I’m not sure how to set the umask for the nginx process. I’ll have a look at /etc/login.conf, though.
