[CentOS] Directories not writable (Apache/PHP)

Hi,

I have a new CentOS sever install. I've also installed suPHP to
replicate a live server.

When I upload file via FTP the permissions seem OK, however the
directories copied are not writable?? Any ideas?

I have tried chmod 777 and that's not working either. Could is be a
suPHP issue?

I have 'suPHP_UserGroup GROUP USER' setup in my virtual directory and
the user is also in the users & groups. The suPHP log file shows the php
file executing OK.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark.
