I assume it means that the user under which the web server runs should have 
write permissions to the file, but not all the other users.  I.E. if the 
web server runs under user httpd, then give httpd write permissions to the 
file, but not other users.  Seems simple enough unless there is something 
in your question I misunderstood...

'man chmod'
