[TYPO3] cannot install extension due to ownership problem

[A M Sharma]

Hello Tan,

I don't know if I have the solution but I will share my setup with you and 
what I learnt. AFAIK apache and consequently typo3 runs as user "nobody" 
and group "nobody" which is a system user on Unix/Linux. Anything you 
import/upload/install is owned by "nobody". If you can change your default 
group (gid) to nobody then you will have permissions to edit all the files. 
As user uid/gid 80/80 you do not have permission on all the files installed 
by extensions & uploaded using Typo3 because they are owned by nobody.
