[ubuntu] Apache, Samba and Permissions

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, Linux beginner here ... and loving it so far! Anyway, here's the plan: Run Apache on Ubuntu Server for use as a development server, not exposed to the internet (yet - it's tempting) and then share the web site directory using Samba so that I can edit the files 'in place' from a variety of client machines on my local network. So, I give ownership of the directory to the user www-data and the www-data group. This seems to work in the first instance. I then add the appropriate user to the www-data group. Now I mount the directory on any client using the user credentials ... so far, so g (Hardware)

I had Arch Linux installed and was able to get this correctly working, but I decided to switch over to Ubuntu Server.

I just installed the latest (12.10) version of Ubuntu Server along with LAMP and Samba.

Fresh LAMP server setup with Ubuntu 12.04 and VSFTPD.

I'm trying to configure Apache to write to a mounted Samba share. I have successfully configured Samba server, mounted the share on the client and I am able to write to the share as the Apache user. Apache gets Permission denied errors when it tries to write.
