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.
