What permissions do I need to give to the directory for it to play nice in Ubuntu with just a regular user?

Hi Mouse,

I'm figuring that it would work just fine to take the directory /var/www and, as a super user, change the ownership to the regular user. It would be preferable to the alternative of chmod'ing your directory to a more open read/write/execute setting (777),
