    Sometimes, web servers forbid 0777 because it is too insecure. Try setting them to 0755 or 0744. Also, you should make sure to change the owner of the files and directories to the web sever's user information. It may depend on your distubtion, but Ubuntu uses www-data. So, to change all of the files and folders to www-data, you could run the following from the command line:

    Code:
    chown -R www-data:www-data /PATH/TO/YOUR_DIR

    Just to add what justintest said, you might want to also
    Code:
    chmod -R
    The -R option is telling the server to recursively go through the sub directories and modify the permissions.

    Good luck
