Scenario:

Due to security we would like the ability to change the default directory permissions from root to apache.

Steps to Reproduce:

httpd_service node['httpd']['http_service_name'] do
  action [:create, :start]
  mpm 'prefork'
  not_if { ::File.directory?("/etc/httpd-#{node['httpd']['http_service_name']}/conf.d")}
end

#httpd config file
httpd_config node['httpd']['http_service_name'] do
   instance node['httpd']['http_service_name']
   source (node['httpd']['enable_ssl'] ? 'httpd_ssl.conf.erb' : 'httpd.conf.erb')
   variables ({
     server_name: node['httpd']['server']
   })
   action :create
   notifies :restart, "httpd_service[#{node['httpd']['http_service_name']}]"
end

Expected Result:

Being able to change the group and user permissions. Changing the file permissions to 750.

[root@ej httpd]# ls -al
drwxr-x---.  2 apache apache 4096 Sep 28 14:09 conf
drwxr-x---.  2 apache apache 4096 Sep 28 14:11 conf.d

Actual Result:

[root@ej httpd]# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Sep 28 14:09 conf
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Sep 28 14:11 conf.d
