[GRLUG] update change ownership/permissions?

[ebever at researchintegration.org]

I'm suddenly having trouble saving to /var/www/html and deleting from same.
Being told I do not have permission. I know I've been doing these things in the
past. /var/www/html currently is owned by root and group is root. Permissions
755. 

Could these have been changed by an automatic update from Fedora? I can't think
of any other explanation.

Should owner:group be apache:apache?

Thanks.
