    What happens when you try to create the folder? – Seth Mar 31 '13 at 15:20
  • did you add the user you are doing this with to the group apache uses? if not... do not start messing with permissions... add the user. – Rinzwind Mar 31 '13 at 15:28

You need to figure out what processes will need to be doing this and set the appropriate owner/group permissions. For instance with drupal installation you have to set up certain directories as giving the www-data group write permission.

Basic unix commands for doing these things:

chmod nnn [file or directory] or chmod -R nnn directory/ (if you want a recursive change)

where "nnn" is the numeric value of the user/group/world permissions (google these values, but 777 means read/write/execute

chown : [file or directory] changes the ownership
