User access to /srv/www/htdocs



Hi,

I've just got ' Beginning PHP5, Apache, Mysql, Web Development' for xmas this book is aimed at windows user with appendix for setting up on Linux. I already have the apps installed on my mail server.

My question is how do I create a 'test' folder in /srv/www/htdocs to run the examples in the book. I know I could su create the folder and then chmod it, but is there away I can do it with group permissions for the user.
