Check what user your apache is running(ps aux|grep apache), usually it is nobody/apache. Your permission level(777) is correct just that your ownership is wrong. Next, your second problem. I believe you just mess up your account, you should not chown your entire site to root as the folder structure function under different user. Re-create your account, then paste the error you are facing in your image upload. Anyway, I believe if you email to ServInt NOC, they will be pleased to help you
