asterisk users - Nov 2005 - PHP error setting up AMP

I've previously run AAH (installing from the ISO and tar), but this time
I'm doing my own install and am having problems getting AMP to work right. 
Any time I try to modify the configuration, I get an error like this:

Warning: fopen(/etc/asterisk/vm_general.inc): failed to open stream: Permission
denied in /var/www/html/admin/functions.php on line 2292

There was a post to this list back in March that was asking about a similar
problem, and it was said to be related to file permissions on the /etc/asterisk
folder and the conf files in it.  I have chmod-ed the folder and the files in
it, so that all users have rwx permissions:

-rwxrwxrwx  1 asterisk asterisk  1695 Oct 13  2004 agents.conf

Any ideas on what my problem might be?  I had to manually add the asterisk user
that apache runs with, but did not create a password.  If this could be part of
the problem, where would I find out what the PHP scripts/Asterisk are using?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

What about the directory /etc/asterisk itself?

BTW: generally you should solve permissions problems with ghown/chgrp
and not with chmod 777.
