Exclamation Setting up a server

Hi guys,
I to put a PC together from unused PCs in work (Celeron, 1GB RAM) so it's a pretty good get and I'm planning to set up an FTP/HTTP/Subversion server to organise my stuff.

I've got Ubuntu installed with Apache,Mysql, PHP and they are working.
The problem is I don't quite understand how I should set up the permissions.
Maybe Blacknight or someone like that can give me a hand here:
I have the software installed and working (FTP/Apache) but I can't create files with PHP or do any write operations in FTP.
What permissions/user groups etc. should I set up so I can login as a user who isn't root but that can upload files and manipulate stuff like normal hosting?

Thanks,
David
