help:Linux Mint 12 doesn't save my file permission changes

[supermansleftbicep]

Attempting to change the file permissions for a folder inside my home/httpd directory. I have tried right-clicking -properties->permissions and giving my self write,read,execute permissions. Doesn't work; i click close and open it up again and the settings change back to the default which is none. the folder is called htdocs (the directory home/httpd is where i installed apache /home/httpd/htdocs)

I tried chmod and did a sudo chmod 755, i did chmod a+x+w+r htdocs nothing. The settings don't save.

I should have left it alone but i'll learn more by fixing it .



any hint,clue,what do you think the problem is?
