symfony.bash

# remove existing folders with unnecessary 
ϟ sudo rm -rf app/cache/*
ϟ sudo rm -rf app/logs/*

# get the current apache user
ϟ HTTPDUSER=`ps aux | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\  -f1`
ϟ echo $HTTPDUSER

# chmod the folders with the apache user and your current CLI user
ϟ sudo chmod +a "$HTTPDUSER allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
ϟ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs

# run the same command on other ( custom ) folders that need the same permissions
ϟ sudo chmod +a "$HTTPDUSER allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" web/logs/
ϟ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" web/logs/
