How to set permission of folder or file in Linux
You can set permission for the folder or file in Linux system by using command chmod.
For instance to setup the /test folder permission to 777 you need to type: chmod 777 /test.
To check that 777 is really set use stat command: stat /test
You can clearly see that folder is set to 777 permission.
To process bundle action with folders and sub folders use the following example: chmod –R /test. This will setup all folders, files and subfolders to 777.
However there might be another way to do it either for folders&subfolders: find /test/ -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
or for the all files in all folders and subfolders: find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 777 {} \;
Be very careful with permission 777, this is shown only for example purposes.

Apache
I will try to be short ad possible with sharing my knowledge and opinion about Apache. Pros and cons will be the best way,
Pros:
1. Popularity. Still number one Web server around internet
2. Well documented and mature product
3. Quite easy to install, easy to configure.
4. Almost all in one solution (build in support of PHP, CGI, PERL)
5. Present in all popular Linux distributions.
6. Compatible with major management systems: Webmin, Fantastico, Cpanel, ISP config. Part of Zend server.
Cons:
1. Technologically outdated
2. Not good for the single server for many concurrent connections
3. Consumes far more RAM than new generation web servers
4. MOD PHP is very slow solution for PHP requests handling
Install Nginx on Debian
If you wish what I think about nginx go here.
So here is the simplest way to install fresh version of Nginx on Debian system. I do not prefer to manually compile nginx. Also nginx developing continuously, means your distribution of Linux will have outdated version of nginx. The easiest way is to add nginx repository to your Linux system.
