Changing the ENTIRE folder to 777 is a TERRIBLE idea and a massive security risk. I highly suggest you don't do it this way. Assuming you have the proper user and groups on the folder, 660 should be sufficient.

Assuming you are on a linux server running apache2:

The easiest (but most unsafe) method is to change to your app directory and do 'chmod -R 777 tmp' which makes tmp and everything below it readable and writeable by everyone.

A better method is to change group ownership of tmp and everthing below it to www-data ( or whatever group your apache server runs in ) with 'chgrp -R www-data tmp' followed by 'chmod -R 774 tmp' This makes tmp read/write for you and the www-data group but readonly for everyone else

If you have access to /etc/apache2 on your system, you could also modify /etc/apache2/envvars and change 'APACHE_RUN_USER' and 'APACHE_RUN_GROUP' to be your username and group. This will make the webserver run as you. This is OK for local systems but you are unlikely to have access to this file in a hosted environment unless you have your own server.
