Most suggest that I put "umask 002" in /etc/sysconfig/httpd, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Other's suggest adding something to the httpd.service script for systemd. And that doesn't make any difference. I had a couple sideline emails with Emmett about suexec possibly being the culprit. TL;DR: that's not it. The apache suexec utility can enforce a umask (typically 022) on CGI and SSI (server-side includes). Taking a look at the source in support/suexec.c, if compiled with AP_SUEXEC_UMASK set to some value, it will set the umask; else there is no umask change. AP_SUEXEC_UMASK is set via ./configure with --with-suexec-umask. In CentOS 8 httpd-2.4.37-21.module_el8.2.0+382+15b0afa8.src.rpm the httpd.spec for ./configure with suexec-related configuration flags are notably absent of --with-suexec-umask. I also did a prep of the sources and no patches modify the suexec sources in this way. I similarly checked CentOS 7.8 httpd-2.4.6-93.el7.centos.src.rpm with the same result. Just thought I'd share my dead-end attempt to help since suexec hasn't been mentioned. :-)
