You need to make sure that the owner of the webserver process has rights 
to write data into the webroot.

Check the User and Group setting in /opt/loca/apache/conf/httpd.conf
If an application writes data eg. in its temp folder, it tries to do 
this with the user/group as defined in /opt/loca/apache/conf/httpd.conf.


If you only develop local and not with multiple users or not serve the 
content to the internet, then you can try this:

Change the User/group setting to your login user/group in 
/opt/loca/apache/conf/httpd.conf and restart the webserver. Then chown 
the files in your webroot to your user/group.

Since you are the only one who changes the files there should be no 
confilict anymore, since the webserverprocess runs as the same user as you.
