Write permissions under 7.5.2

[ghazlewood]

I have a server which was recently upgraded to 7.5.2 (from 7.0.2). I used to be able to chown a file to apache:apache to allow a PHP script to write to it. Since the upgrade this no longer works and even though I have tried chmod 777 I am still unable to get these scripts to write to files. I am on Fedora Core 1 and have tried the SuExec trick mentioned at:

Unfortunately the server does not appear to respond to this additional directive so I am back at square one.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
