On my Ubuntu server, I run Apache 2 with a php8.2-fpm pool, and I have changed the PHP user, which is not www-data anymore.
I've changed the php-fpm.conf (/etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf), so that the user is my new user.
My problem is that every time the server gets rebooted, the folder /run/php always changes back to www-data ownership, so I have to manually chown the folder to get PHP running as it should.
Where can I permanently change the ownership of this folder?
/run uses tmpfs, a volatile memory-only filesystem whose contents is lost when the system is rebooted. It's not possible to set anything "permanently" there. It's recreated anew during system boot and startup of services.
The directory is created by systemd according to the settings of the service unit. You need to adjust your unit for systemd to create a directory with correct permissions.
Run the editor to start an override file:
systemctl edit php8.2-fpm It will open your default editor with the current state of the unit for reference. You need to add User and Group options (look at comments to see where to put this):
[Service] User=youruser Group=yourgroup That said, better leave it running as www-data and add your user to the group of www-data as needed instead.
