Hi, I am trying to install a cms package for my website. I need to have the webserver have read/write/eXecute permissions for some working folders in my htdocs folder. Does anyone have suggestions for the best approach on this? chown apache test.txt which gives me the error “failed to change group of `test.txt’ to apache”, so I assume my account is limited due to shared hosting? Thanks,

I'd like to avoid giving global permissions, since that is a bit dangerous.

You need to contact support and have them do a chgrp apache for you, I believe.
