Only root can chown a file, as far as I know...

What you would NORMALLY do would be to use 0775 on directories and
0664 on files, and then get your webhost to put 'ross' and 'nobody'
into the same group, and have the Group setting in httpd.conf be that
group.

Then, when 'nobody' makes a file, you can read/write/exec it as needed.

YMMV
