Folder is not writable

Hi

I am attempting to create a page but keep getting this error - Folder is not writable: /var/www/html

I checked on the server and the permissions seem to be 0777

What can be causing this?

Hi Drew

We actually have a dedicated server so the hosts aren't that helpful as its our server.

However, they have set the permissions as requested but we still see this error - can you think of anything else that may be causing this?

Thanks

Apparently they worked it out - it was a firewall issue. Not strictly the permissions set on folder var/www/html which the perch error message suggested

Thanks
