Verify that you have turned off SElinux,  check the file
/etc/selinux/config, make sure that SELINUX=disabled and not enforcing
or something else.   I had this same type of problem with apache and
perl.

No good advise! Why do you say so? Don't switch off security settings
just because you don't know how to deal with them correctly. There is
documentation

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/
    

I'll second that statement. Sure, there are times when you might have
a server in a well protected environment, and don't have any need for
SELinux, and it may be safe to suggest turning it off. But for the
majority of users and environments, you will want to keep it on.

Find out why the door is closed, and learn how to open it.
Don't knock a big hole through it so anyone can come in.

  
I guess i should have added that you should verify this, and then slowly
add back in the security, so you know what works and what doesn't.   I
agree that this would cause a security hole, if left disabled. 


Doesn't matter I am still getting the same permission denied. Turning it
off didn't work. The folder I am sendiing it to is in /var/myfolder I
'apache' owns the folder and the permissions are 755 that actually works
on my FC1 server.
