Be careful when assigning to that username. Redhat through 6.2 used nobody.
Redhat 7 uses apache as the user and group names.

Not sure what you mean by "httpd writable" directory, but if you're
referring
to the fact that you need scripts runs through the httpd daemon to write to
a given directory then keep in mind that httpd is ran by user nobody. So,
you need to make sure that the permissions are correct to allow user nobodu
read/write access to the directory in question. Of course, keep in mind
possible security issues.
