add yourself to the apache group in the groups file.  This will allow you to
do a chmod for the group on the apaceh dir so you are able to write to it.

chmod +775 I think you would want to do on the directory.

This is just a little bit off-topic - sorry

I'm running Mandrake 8.0 and am pretty new to Linux. I want to download my 
entire website to my hard drive and put it in hte /var/www folder, but
apache 
is the owner and the group for that directory. I'm just wondering, if I
chown 
the directory so that I am the owner, would that cause problems somehow? Or 
is it possible to chmod it so that apache is still the owner but i am
allowed 
to write to it?  

TIA

Tom Malone
