Thanks, but I do understand the file permissions on a Unix system (I have worked in Unix) and I do not have shell access to the hosting server.  All I
 have is the interface they supply, which does allow me to change
 permissions, but not owners.
 
 I have no way of determining what the "user name" for the Apache is -- and I
 surmise that is who the user must be on the server.
 
 I agree that opening it with 777 is bad.  I used 755.
