Permissions problem

[BMWracing]

I'm unable to reply in the permissions sticky above, so I'm going to create a new thread.

I'm running a directadmin panel based on debian 6.x and I'm trying to do a clean install of Chevereto 3.3x but I am having trouble with the file permissions.

I created a user with a domain (username testuser). When uploading the complete chevereto folder (new install) with the same user account through FTP i am getting:

No write permission in /imgup/images/ directory. Chevereto needs to be able to write in this directory.
No write permission in /imgup/content/ directory. Chevereto needs to be able to write in this directory.

This happens because PHP is running under the user apache and not under the username testuser.

I believe I can solve this issue with running chmod 777 on the folders above, but I find this a major security risk.
So I tried following the steps for usermod in the sticky, but this does not solve the problem:

sudo usermod -a -G apache testuser

Then I refreshed the page, but am still getting the no write permissions error. What am I doing wrong? Is the command above correct in my case?

I fixed this issue by using moid_ruid2. Maybe a good idea to add to the permissions sticky.
