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.
