Wordpress 1 click install problem

[_Lush_]

I created a php file to unpack a tar file containing wordpress. here is the code below. Problem is after running php file it is not unpacking the files under the user associated with the domain. I can only modify files or folders by logging in as super user. Anybody have better code snippet that will fix this problem.

<?php
exec('tar -xzf wordpress.tar.gz');
?>

trying to upload and unpack tar file in one instance over many different domains.

You probably run php as apache mod so everything is owned to apache after unpacking it.
You need after that to chowm files and dirs back to user

chown -R user:user /home/path_to_user_account/path_to_wp_folder

I'm not expert for php but I doubt php can do it.

You need to issue that command as super user for every instance
you unpacked or make shell script for it

if you have subversion installed you could just issue the command

svn co http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/3.3.1 .

from inside the directory of the side you wanna install
