If you type filenames as carelessly as you type requests for help, who 
knows what file name you are actually trying to open?

Or to put it another way...

If yuo tpye filnaems as carlesl yas y outype reqets for help, woh knwos

Nikos, my Greek is completely non-existent, and I admire you for learning 
a second language. I know your English is good, because I have seen you 
write fluent, excellent English. But if you can't be bothered to type 
carefully and clearly when asking questions, then how can you expect 
others to be bothered to read and respond to your questions?

Just because your account has write permission to a location doesn't mean 
that the script being run by the webserver has write permission. You need 
to write to a location where the script has permission to write. First 
you need to find out what account the script is being run under -- it may 
be "apache", or possible "nobody", but I don't know. It shouldn't be 
"root", and almost certainly isn't "nikos". I'm not an expert, but a few 
seconds googling came up with a lot of useful looking hits. Google on 
"what user does apache run as" and do your research.

This is off-topic though. This is not a "beginner's guide to apache" 
forum, if you can't solve this problem yourself you'll have to take it 
elsewhere.
