Assuming you are running mod_php and safe_mode: that is probably because of
PHP safe_mode. You didn't tell you were going to write to that area with
drupal. That's a completely different picture then! You really have to give
the complete picture.
In PHP safe_mode you can:
a) have all php files and the write area owned by apache
b) have all php files owned by a user and the write area writable by apache
but owned by the user (*)
c) have all php files owned by the user, group-owned by apache and the write
-area group-owned by apache and owned by the user and use safe_mode_gid
instead of safe_mode.
(*) this doesn't work if you create subdirectories because they get the wrong
permissions and apache can't pass thru
I think the most-used scenario is b). You will have to do some research to
see what fits your setup best. (php.net/safe_mode). Also note that safe_mode
is discouraged "officially" now since it isn't 100% reliable. However, I
strongly advise using it if possible as long as it is available.
