1. to install magento first you have create a new user, and look for the web server group as mentioned below.

normally webserver user can be found with root login in SSH or terminal, to understand users and groups I found these articles helpful. https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/linux-users-and-groups/ and https://www.tecmint.com/manage-users-and-groups-in-linux/

egrep -i '^user|^group' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

on Centos will show user as "apache"

on Ubuntu will show user ad "www-data"

however, you can change the user name in httpd.conf file

2. now you have to put "magento_user" in webserver group as a primary group

usermod -g apache magento_user

-g for primary group -G for additional secondary group

check groups

groups magento_user

Logout of ssh/terminal and

login back

restart apache server to take effect.

hope this helps
