api.php not interacting correctly with msg

[karvec]

I'm running into a problem where api.php is creating a msg file that it cannot interact with, and am wondering what I can do to fix this. Also affects curSong and stationList. The only way I've been able to fix it so far is to rm the file or chown/chmod the file so api.php can interact with it. Not sure how I can resolve this issue elsewise. Also, does not seem to be resuming properly after playing NPR news. Running debian wheezy, set up semiproperly.

Also with update.py, it seems to have trouble following the correct NPR news feed and/or playing too often.

Try chmod/chown'ing the parent directory to make it writable by both the web server and via the command line.

Also, I'm not sure why lastNews has a different owner than newscast.mp3 and curSong. They should both be owned by the same user since they're created by the same program at roughly the same time. Just a note.
