Thodoris,
I would think the simple answer to this is, is that you had the document open
when you uploaded it.
Try uploading it again, this time without any application viewing it. This
should clear the "owned by" flag set when the document is open.
Their is no setting with Apache/PHP/Mysql/etc..-server side, that could cause
this problem!
It is specific to the file that is uploaded.
Try to copy (cmd line using scp or something) from the first (working) machine
to the second (not working) machine and try to view it then.
I think it is a simple mistake of uploading the file when you had it open.
