The AutoSSL script is a little heavy-handed when checking permissions/ownership of files. We use a custom SVN tool which runs as 'nobody' so all site files are: user=[site name] and group=nobody. This works fine for all things except the AutoSSL script, apparently because rather than checking if it has permissions to write a file in the user's folder, it checks to be sure the ownership of files is user=[site name] and group=[site name]. Even though AutoSSL would have permission, it fails because the ownership isn't what it expected.
Are there plans to correct this or is it recommended to create a hook to modify the ownership of the files before and after AutoSSL runs? That seems like a messy solution so I'm very interested in an alternative.
