creating a file/rights

[Anon]

I'm trying to create a new file. I have tried both $fh = fopen("$some_file","w")
and $fh = fopen("$some_file","a").

In both cases the error message goes like this:

Warning: fopen("files/funk.html", "w") - Permission denied

Can this be fixed by setting the rights of the directory (now they are set to 765), or must Apache be reconfigured?

for testding set die permissions for the directory to 777 (chmod 777 /your/dir/name).

then this error should not accur.
