Only allowing chmod 777 for file upload folder

Hey everyone. I have 2 different linux servers (each one is through a different web hosting company). On both servers I have the exact same PHP file upload script that allows users to upload a file or image to the server (everything on both servers is identical).

On server #1 the "attachments" directory (which is where the files are uploaded to), I have the permissions set to chmod 755 and the files are successfully uploaded to the server (into the attachments folder).

HOWEVER, on server #2 for some reason, the files will not upload into the "attachments" directory unless I put the permissions to chmod 777 (chmod 755 will not work on server #2).

Does anyone know any possible reasons as to why server #2 will not allow file uploads with chmod 755?

Thanks.
