setting up apache premissions

i asked some one a question about the database i am using and this is the answers i got..

Apache needs write permission for
/home/httpd/vhosts/knowittv.com/mason
Just set it up and you should be good to go.

i dont understand what this means or how to do that...

any thoughts?

 

i think it means chmods this directory to 777 /home/httpd/vhosts/knowittv.com/mason

 

open a terminal and try typing:

chmod 777 /home/httpd/vhosts/knowittv.com/mason

Code (markup):

this provides execution permission.
you may have to run this command as root. hope this helps.
