Setting permissions to apache server

[ben22]

Hi,

I need to give 777 rights to a folder to apache.

ben@ben-desktop:~$ chmod www-data=777 -R /home/ben/Desktop/web/myweb/templates_c/
chmod: invalid mode: `www-data=777'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

This seems to be wrong, some help there?

thx,
ben

I think its

sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder

I think its

sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder

how do u define the user in there - this way u would give the the user "ben" not apache the 777 rights, I reckon?
