It just so happens that I work under Windows, and the server is set to virtualbox, so that it only turns on when it is needed. I made a shared folder in which Apache looks, my virtual servers are there. It turned out something like a folder on wines C: \ web in which I work as an IDE, a folder / web in fedora, which is mounted as vboxsf and where Apache is configured.
Previously, I had a virtual server on centos and everything worked fine, including shared folders. Then I needed software, the packages for which were only in fedora, and I switched to it.
When I edit existing files in the project, everything works as expected. But if I delete / create / rename files, it's not clear what starts.

[[email protected] application]# ls -l<br/>
ls: cannot access _Environment.PHP: No such file or directory<br/>
total 28<br/>
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 5325 Nov 21 03:01 Bootstrap.php<br/>
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 4096 Nov 21 02:52 configs<br/>
?????????? ? ? ? ? ? _Environment.php<br/>
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 943 Nov 21 02:32 Environment.temp.php<br/>
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 4096 Nov 20 13:52 forms<br/>
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 1458 Nov 21 13:04 Init.php<br/>
...<br/>

Also, if you check for an existing file file_exists (this is php), it will return true. Then delete, rename the file - still true. The same test in the local fedora folder works as expected.
I tried to reinstall guest additions, mount shared in /etc/fstab, mount manually mount -t vboxsf, mount automatically (/media/sf_...). The result is always the same - an error when renaming, deleting files.
Of course, it would be possible to create and delete files under the ssh console, but this is somewhat inconvenient in the workflow. It seems that I have one such problem, tk. Googling didn't give me anything on this issue.

It was decided by deploying a server on CentOS 5.7 (kernel 2.6.18). Because Fedora uses newer versions of the kernel, I suspect that this is the gag. Thanks to all.

To tell the truth I am confused by access rights. The file will be rooted - there can always be problems with this. In general, it seems to me that when you change a file from Windows, something incomprehensible is going on with access rights.
Although, there is still a suspicion of a buggy file system.

Try to do the opposite: raise a samba server in the guest system, and connect to it in Windows. This should get rid of such glitches.
Another option: Apache looks at a local folder, into which rsync periodically copies files from a shared folder with a forced change in file ownership and rights.

It is very similar to the problem described here habrahabr.ru/qa/13272/
If I understand you correctly, then the internal VirtualBox SharedFolder is not a very reliable solution.

Faced the same issue on Ubuntu.
HOWTO: Use Shared Folders should help.

I just don't want to change the system. Customize and rebuild everything I need for development. I think there must be a solution.
