Wash, Using it only temporarily coz I need to. Thought including user home directory was the best but had unending issues with UserDir ('Invalid command 'UserDir', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration') but I'm on a learning curve.

sudo 775 -R /var/www -> will disable "others" from writing into the DocumentRoot

Bernard,
change to root : sudo su <root password> chmod 755 -R /var/www or you could chown userid:usergroup id /var/www
Although not recommended, chmod 777 -R /var/www for all read/write permissions. I settled for it, (chmod 777 -R). Tried Martin's though it was quite a pain so I shelved it. Thank you all for the help.
So now you are happy to write a server that is so easy to compromise?? Basically, anyone will be able to upload files into your webserver's DocumentRoot.
