htdocs dir -> can't save files to it? newbie

Hi, apache newbie here. I installed apache 1.3.20 during the installation of Mandrake 8.1 as an RPM. Apache starts on boot and runs fine when I go to http://localhost. The only thing is I can't save any files into the htdocs directory, where it says I'm supposed to put my html files, etc. I get the access denied error:

Access denied Could not write to:
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/file.html

I'm assuming I need to change some security permissions for my machine but I don't know where to start. Any suggestions?

chmod /usr/local/apache/htdocs and all its parent directory tree to 755. chmod file.html to 644.
