Yes, www-data can access every dir on that path.

I used git to pull everything in media dir. Since I couldn't make it
work, I started over with 0.7.1 version. 

MG documentation is very scarce. What is available is scattered around
several places. I'm using php web applications for quite some and have never
had this much problem installing something. I guess that since I've
never used python web app, everything was very confusing to me.  There
are lot of additional parts of system whose part in the whole picture is
not very clear to me. That's why switching between installation in root
or subdirectory; fcgi vs uwsgi and that kind of different configuration
is almost impossible to me. This[1] page is the only place where I could
find that someone tried to explain what is what and why it is there. 

Having that kind of explanations for people that don't know python/had
previous experience with python web apps could be very helpful. 

Anyway, I finally managed to install MG. I used this[2] howto, which is
somewhat incomplete (had to use 

 (virtualenv --python=python2 --system-site-packages . || virtualenv 
--python=python2 .) && ./bin/python setup.py develop

command from this[3] page). 

Also, base_url from mediagoblin_local.ini have to be changed, of media
files are referenced as
example.com/mgoblin_media/media_entries/1/test.jpg instead of
example.com/media/mgoblin_media/media_entries/1/test.jpg


Thanks for your time and help!
