How to give Apache permission to write to the home directory?

My server is in /var/www/html I have a php script in /var/www/html/fileio_test/io_test.php

<?php
$logging = <<< LOG
This is a test
LOG;
$testfile = fopen(&#39;/home/djameson/test.txt&#39;, &#39;a&#39;); 
fwrite ($testfile, $logging);
fclose($testfile);
?>

When I try to run this script, I got

Warning: fopen(/home/djameson/test.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in   /var/www/html/fileio_test/io_test.php on line 7
Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /var/www/html/fileio_test/io_test.php on line 8
Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /var/www/html/fileio_test/io_test.php on line 9

How do I get Apache to write to my home directory? The server is running on Fedora 20.

Solution:

Since your files are located in your home directory, I recommend using one of the following methods.

Grant 0777 permissions to the file itself.

chmod 0777 /home/djameson/test.txt

Change ownership to Apache user www-data and grant write permission to the owner.

Sudo chown www-data:www-data /home/djameson/test.txt
chmod 0744 /home/djameson/test.txt

Add your user to www-data group or vice versa add www-data user to your group. Then group write permissions.

Sudo usermod -a -G www-data djameson
chmod 0764 /home/djameson/test.txt

Note: I assume the Apache username and group name are www-data and www-data respectively. You have to change the server Apache username/group name accordingly.
