Hi, Rob: I did follow the instruction of putting in chown apache:apache htdocs. Now when I run the ls -la command, I get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] apache]# ls -la total 68 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2008-07-14 08:53 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 build drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-14 08:57 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-06-25 17:39 conf drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 error drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 2008-07-14 15:43 htdocs drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 icons drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 include drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-27 14:17 logs drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:36 man drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 12288 2008-06-10 15:18 manual drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-06-24 09:44 modules However, this does not change any of the errors I have been getting by executing my PHP code. I still get Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/file_linux.php on line 27 Is this what I should be having in my ownership of the files? Thanks for your help.

Yep, apache is not running as root. It is running as user apache. Now go to the parent directory and input the following command: chown apache:apache <directoryName> That will change the ownership/group to apache. And then apache can write to it.
