Umm... all your base are bel^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H

Umm, you've made your entire system world readable/writeable? That's not
good. And the ownership of www is root, not apache. Change directory to
www and do ls -al again. Maybe your html directory is ok for ownerships.

The error indicates what script is generating the error. Not the path to
the directory you want to create. Maybe echo the name of the directory
you are trying to create when you get a failure for mkdir().
