I have a site that worked perfectly on its dev server and then moved to its production server, the assets directory keeps getting its file permissions changed back. Causing 403 errors for uploads (ie I change the permissions and some time later they get reset).

The webhost ran up another clean install of SS3.6.1 on the same server and it had the same problem. You can not upload images etc.

The server is currently running:

SilverStripe 3.6
Apache 2.2 current patch
PHP 5.4.5 current security patch
MySQL 5.5.57 current patch
FreeBSD 10.3 current patch

The host thought they had fixed it by adding:

umask (022);

To the top of framework/main.php, however this has allowed files to upload through the CMS, but it still shows a 403 error on the front end.

Never had this issue with getting SS to work on a server before, so wondering if anyone else has encountered it and what you did to rectify it.
