I'm running two webservers in a single host. One of them is a Tomcat running in a reverse proxy configuration. The front webserver is a nginx that proxies request to the Tomcat.

So far, is working ok.

A location in a domain, let's say domain.com/photos is server by Tomcat. I'd like the photos to be server by nginx. The files are stored in a folder, but the files are written by Tomcat application and the files end up with owner tomcat and group tomcat.

The nginx process is running in www-data group, so it cannot retrieve the files.

How can I accomplish that the the webservers runs under the same group? Is a good practice to use newgrp before starting the webservers, so both runs under the same group?

Thanks.

Have you considered just adding your nginx user to the tomcat group? Seems like an easy solution...
