Well, doing chmod o+rwx is the easiest, but so insecure I've tried to avoid it. I have added myself to group www-data, but the problem with that is when I create files as my user it defaults to being owned by martin, not www-data and thus apache can't access them (without running a tedious chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www at least).

You could add your self to what ever group apache belongs too.  You
could also chmod o+rwx as well.

I've been having a problem with my Apache setup in that I'm not sure
what user I should run it under. The default is www-data, and I could
just add myself to the www-data group and be able to edit it under my
user (martin). The problem with that is that when I create files with my
normal user, they will be owned by martin and thus inaccessible to
Apache. I could just edit the files with the www-data user, but that is
annoying in terms of syncing together various files (.vimrc and such)
between /home/martin and /home/www-data.

I attempted to have Apache run under the user martin by adding the
following in my Apache config:

User martin
Group martin

but when I try to have a script create a directory, for example, it
returns "Permission Denied." This is Apache 2.0.55.

Does anybody have a good solution for this? For example, is there a way
to make all files created by me in /var/www owned by www-data instead?

Thanks all.
