Apache is running with www-data:www-data

I added a user

sudo useradd -s /bin/false -d /var/www/dev -m dev

and added to www-data group

sudo usermod -G www-data --append dev

uid=1001(dev) gid=1001(dev) groups=1001(dev),33(www-data)

Now when a website running from /var/www/dev, it is getting permission denied error when trying to write something like logs,cache. All files and folder at /var/www/dev is dev:dev. Not using Suexec.

But if I am changing group to dev:www-data it is working fine.

How I can get write permission for apache with dev:dev permission?

If apache is running as 'www-data' user, then the 'www-data' user needs to be in the 'dev' group or the website files all need the www-data as the group owner. Your 'dev' user is in www-data group, but it's not the user executing the commands.
