[GTALUG] File Permission Nusance

[Stephen]

I have Apache running on my system for web development with php.

Apache writes to an error.log file unique for the specific web site that 
I am working on.

During debugging the log file grows, and I like to clear it every now 
and then.

I had to change ownership of the file to me. I five read/write to everyone.

But when I truncate the file and save, Apache no longer writes to it. 
The Apache error logs do not indicate a problem.

I restart Apache and all is good again. But this is a nuisance.

Is there a way to avoid this nuisance?

Thanks
