I've had problems where some part of this is misspelled and it gets ignored.

Many will allow you to adjust the file or directory permissions. Normally PHP will throw and error or warning if there is a write permission problem. Make sure that you have a reasonable error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE) and that you are not hiding the output of a function with an @ symbol during development. >From within PHP you can use the is_writable() function to see if the web server user has permission to write to the directory (http://www.php.net/is_writable).
