PHP Cannot Write.. "not writeable"

[eshcorp]

I'm trying to write to a file in php that writes to another one, however, I have noticed that the file is not writeable. The file is chmoded.

Have you given it all permissions, both files ?

when I chmod both files, I get an internal server error:

Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@eshnetwork.x10hosting.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

try to use your file manager in your account cpanel to chmod the files, somtimes ftp programs mess up when doing it..

that's what I'm doing.. still nothing. I tried to chmod to 755 and 777.. still error.
