In my case, it looked like root was one of the owners of the directory but apache wasn't. The owners were listed as root and me. But I couldn't write to it. I did a chown anthony: /var/www/html and that seems to have given me write privs since I'm now the owner. I couldn't find the man page for setfacl but I'll dig around the net and see if I can find it. In the meantime, I'm assuming simply taking ownership of the directory shouldn't open any security holes, right?
