For those of you interested in modifying the apache plugin here you go:

vi /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-enabled/apache2_plugin.inc.php

Around line 198 added groupname variable like so:

function update($event_name,$data) {
     global $app, $conf;
      $groupname = "apache";

Around line 403 commented out groupname and added my own like so:

 //$groupname = escapeshellcmd($data["new"]["system_group"]);
 $groupname = "apache";

Around line 430 added a chmod to make group writeable:

exec("chown -R $username:$groupname ".escapeshellcmd($data["new"]["document_root"]));
exec("chmod -R ug+w ".escapeshellcmd($data["new"]["document_root"]));
