I am trying to set the default umask to umask 002.
I tried adding it to:
/etc/apache2/envvar
/etc/profile
But after restarting Apache it hasn't changed?
Still 0022.
Where do I have to put it?
Thanks

See http://serverfault.com/questions/166176/ways-to-set-umask-on-ubuntu-for-daemon-processes for the answer. – Paweł Brodacki Sep 21 '11 at 04:56

Probably the best place is the apache startup scripting in /etc/init.d/ directory.

The best place is where you've put it, /etc/apache2/envvar, afaik
If you're using mod_dav, you may be looking at a bug in the Apache mod_dav module in 10.04 (2.2.14 apache2) so that all files are created with the wrong permissions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/540747
I added one line to /etc/cron.daily/apache2 to chmod -R a+r /var/www/webdavblah which happened to fix my particular problem.

And as noted on that bug report, it has finally been fixed: "This bug was fixed in the package apache2 - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.9". I have updated and yay it works ! – commonpike Jul 10 '12 at 12:29
