Zegnat,
Most LAMP setups have PHP scripts ran as Apache using the httpd command. They also have a control panel that creates an owner for that domain, subdomains, and any folders within. So, all files and folders within an account have one owner.
CHMOD refers to the access level you are giving the files in their directories. If you CHMOD 777, then you allowing full access to the files and folders. CHMODing a file to 777 is dangerous, and technically CHMODing a folder is as well, however, it depends on what you store in that folder. If you CHMOD an image uploads folder to 777, then it's not a big deal. If you CHMOD a settings folder to 777, then your setting yourself up for an attack.
After rereading their post, it does appear like a problem with writing the file and not reading the files. So, if the data folders permission of 755 doesn't work, 777 would allow writing access from the admin panel. Then past that, make sure the files in the data directory have the correct file permissions as well.

Clients always want to be able to change the content of their pages, but they are unwilling to do so.
