Well, configuring suexec is probably outside my area of expertise, but for the simple project of making-the-directory-writable-by-php-scripts, you can do this:

  1. Run "chmod 777 directory-name" (where directory-name is the name of your directory)
  2. Write a file to that directory with php
  3. In a shell, run "ls -hal" to find out the group name of the resulting file
  4. Run "chgrp -R group-name directory-name" (where group name is the name you discovered just above)
  5. Run "chmod 775 directory-name" (you may need to do the same on directories inside this one to make them writeable)
