apache webserver permission denied to write into directory.

hi all,

I'm having problem with my apache server to wirte into directory using php script. I'm trying to use the "PHPROJEKT application" how can i fix it.
this is the error when i run the script..

[path] = http://localhost/phprojekt/setup.php

[error ]
Alert: Cannot create file "config.inc.php"!
The webserver needs the permission to write the file config.inc.php in the PHProjekt root directory.

sorry for the typographical error. i did the correct command.

but anyway i solve the problem. in Fedora Core 3 their is a SELinux. this application is not permitting the apache to write within the directory or files. i just disable the security for apache 2.0.

thanks anyway for the help....
