EC2 / LAMP with a temporary File System


What kind of EC2 setup do I want?Having problems with maintaining sessions across multiple Amazon EC2 instancesRunning MySQL on Amazon EC2 with EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Elastic Beanstalkaws cli tool set up - unable to connect ec2 and retrieve instance informationAWS EC2 instance (Windows Server 2008): daily EBS snapshot without downtimeApache with tomcat and webappsFile System Corruption in AWS Storage Gateway VolumeEBS backed EC2 instanced stopped, different when started againAmazon EFS as code repository for auto-scaled EC2sDocker Storage in AWS.

Ok - this is a weird one.



I've now got my domain pointing to a new EC2 instance running our website, but initially I thought I had some issues with file permissions, has now turned to be where the web service is holding a completely separate file system layer on top of the one already in place.



What do I mean? Any file I upload to the site, or that I create using file_put_contents() is not accessible if I SSH in to the server. Completely invisible. This is a big problem for me, as I have got jobs on cron on the root user which is designed to look for these files and perform whatever jobs it needs to.



If I restart the apache2 service - the files that had been created in that session are reset, as if they were never there in the first place. Even if I don't restart the session - I have no way of accessing these file again - though it would probably only work if I redirect it as a file download. As far as PHP is concerned, they are in scandir(), true for file_exists() etc.



Has anyone had any familiarity with this and know how I can disable it so it behaves as normal? On my research, it sounds similar to EFS, but have no idea to turn that off, let alone turn it on.



Thanks.
NB: I have asked this on Stack Overflow, but this is more of a "server fault" question.
