Depends what directory you are trying to create, and if the permissions of
the parent directory allows you to do, based on the user apache is running
as. Usually, most people dont run apache as root, normally the "nobody"
user. "nobody" tends not to be able to mkdir's unless someone has
chown'd/chmod'd a parent directory accordingly.
