Folder permissions keep changing from www-data to root












0















A folder under the directory /var/www/xml keeps changing permission from www-data to root meaning that no php file is able to write into the folder.



This seems to happen when I restart the server.



drwxr-xr-x 6 root www-data 4096 Sep 10 13:40 xml

chown www-data -R /var/www/xml

drwxr-xr-x 6 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 10 13:40 xml


How do I make sure this does not happen?
