Permissions & Webhosting

I just setup a Fedora10 box.

I used yum to install : httpd php mysql mysql-server php-mysql
Then I went out to wordpress (blogging software) and installed wordpress in /etc/httpd/wordpress

I imported my wordpress database into mysql and its all working. Except for a few things. When I try to upload an image I get an error from the wordpress side of things "The uploaded file could not be moved to /etc/httpd/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/01" This is only one of a few issues I am having. Apparently whenever I need wordpress to create or write a file, its unable to.

As a test I've set chmod 777 on all directories involved (/etc/httpd/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/01) and I get the same error. All of these directories are owned by root:root. I am thinking that I need to change the permissions to allow the server to write to these directories. Does this sound feasable? How would I go about doing that?

I've asked in the WP forums and none of the suggestions have worked. Figured I'd try here.
