I am fairly new to Zend Framework. We have been using it fairly successfully, but since we moved to a new Linux server (was on windows - no comments please) we are having issues when we add a new file, specifically a new view file.

The error is of the type:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_View_Exception' with message 'script 'travel/index.phtml' not found in path (application/views/scripts/)'...

This file is there, and is referenced correctly by the controller. If we change the owner of the file to www-data, it works. When we upload the file, it is uploaded as portadmin user in the portedit group (these is a user/group we created). The www-data user is also in the portedit group as far as I can tell.

If I load a file in our Public folder not controlled by Zend, it works just fine without changing the owner.

So my question is, does ZF require the files to have www-data as the owner? If not, ny other ideas as to what may be going on?
