[TYPO3-linux] Install on subdomain, directories detected as not writable

[Anna Young]

Hi;

I want to learn Typo3 before I know enough to convert my existing site.

i tried to install a 'testsite' on a subdomain and it appears that 
without some help it will not work.

It tells me that directories typo3temp, typo3conf, fileadmin and uploads 
are not writable when in fact they are all '777'.

'Safe_mode' is OFF but my 'open_base directory'  is set.

Server is Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat)

Php 4.3.9

MySQL 4.1.20

Image Magic 6.3.5, GD 2 with Freetype 2 enabled

Additional Php info can be found here: 
sultan.torontogsdrescue.org/phpinfo.php

The archives of the support lists are disabled so I'm not able to look 
for answers there.

I would greatly appreciate help to understand why Typo3 views those 
directories as 'unwritable' and how to fix the problems

Sincerely Yours
