Topic: Mindmeld - instalation question (chgrp apache, chmod g+w)

[Jørgen]

I am planning to do a installation of Mindmeld http://mindmeld.sourceforge.net/mmsf/index.html

My question is, if it is safe to follow the instalation in these four tasks:
       # chgrp apache .
      # chmod g+w .
       # chgrp -R apache cache
        # chmod -R g+w cache


The full of the installation is copied below

Thanks in advance
Jørgen

The installation in detail:
1. Uncompress the Mindmeld archive to an appropriate directory.

   TRUSTED ENVIRONMENT:  If Mindmeld will be operating in a trusted environment,
   such as an intranet, the archive can be uncompressed directly into a web-browsable
   directory, such as the server's web root.

   UNTRUSTED ENVIRONMENT:  If Mindmeld will be operating in an untrusted environment,
   such as the Internet, the archive should be uncompressed in a directory that is NOT
   web-browsable, such as "/usr/local/lib" (for Unix) or "\program files\Mindmeld" (for Windows).

   Regardless of where you uncompress the archive, the resulting "mindmeld" directory will be
   hereafter referred to as the "Mindmeld directory" or the "Mindmeld home directory."

2. Identify the Mindmeld web directory.

   UNTRUSTED ENVIRONMENT:  Copy the "acweb" directory and its contents into a location
   that can be served by your web server.  The acweb directory will hereafter be referred to as the
   "Mindmeld Web Root" or the "Mindmeld Web directory."

   TRUSTED ENVIRONMENT:  The acweb directory in the Mindmeld Home Directory will hereafter
   be referred to as the "Mindmeld Web Root" or the "Mindmeld Web directory."

3. Change to the Mindmeld home directory. Make sure the web server user has permission to write
    to the Mindmeld Home directory.

   For unix:
        $ su
        # chgrp apache .
      # chmod g+w .

    Make sure the web server user has permission to write to the "cache" directory and
    its contents.

    For unix (as root):
        # chgrp -R apache cache
        # chmod -R g+w cache

4. Change to the Mindmeld Web directory. Make sure the web server user has permission
   to write to the Mindmeld Web directory.

     For unix (as root):
        # chgrp apache .
        # chmod g+w .

5. Make sure your database platform is running and have a valid user login that can create databases.

6. Start a web browser and browse to your {Web Home}/acweb/install/install.php.
   Follow the instructions provided by the installer. When you have finished running the
   Mindmeld installer, you should be able to access your new Mindmeld at {Web Home}/acweb.

isn't it the group "shared" ?!
Not "apache" with the e-smith  (mitel) distro.
