The work-around is to create the directory outside of your web application from your regular account. Or if you are allowed to run cgi scripts and these are set up via cgiwrapper or suExec to run as your own user id, use this to create the directory. Once created with the right owner, you can manipulate it from your regular Apache-embedded PHP scripts. -Rasmus
