I've heard the same from someone else, that AT&P prevents saving of some Pages DB settings. I haven't had a chance to investigate further yet, but I will. In the mean time, I'd recommend temporarily disabling the app to make your settings changes, then re-enabling it when you're finished. I know it isn't ideal, but it should work.
BomAle, thanks for the info--that should help round it down.

Thanks for the guide very informative. I've run into a bit of a permission issue I'm hoping you can shed some light. 
If I run your fixperms script, all is good except when I go to upgrade an application, since the files and folders are owned by webapp:webapp I'll get a permission error.
0: Extraction from phar "/tmp/phpZ2rgSN.tar" failed: Cannot extract "Application.php" to "applications/cjmenu/Application.php", setting file permissions failed if I set the user:group recursively on applications/cjmenu to www-data:www-data the application will upgrade without a hitch. 
I thought we shouldn't have an issue since www-data has read and write access through acl ?
here is the output from getfacl applications/
# file: applications/ # owner: webapp # group: webapp user::rwx user:www-data:rwx user:nginx:r-x group::r-x mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:user:www-data:rwx default:user:nginx:r-x default:group::r-x default:mask::rwx default:other::--- Please I'd really like to know why this is happening ?

All of that is very simple to do since iAwards works together with rules. It was very smart to include the integration.
@-RAW-, If you get me a release copy of the app, I can set up a simple rule for each of those scenarios and you can then bundle them in with the app so users can hit the ground running.
