Zenphoto setup - what is the correct method for proper permissions?

http://www.zenphoto.org/

Permissions are "drwxr-xr-x 3 root root" for all directories mentioned

apache DocumentRoot is default of "/srv/http"

Zenphoto is extracted under http in a folder named "photos". When I initialize the Zenphoto setup in my web browser, I receive numerous errors that the setup php does not have write permissions within the "photos" directory.

The setup recommends setting 777 to all folders within and including the "photos" directory (zenphoto base).

I really don't want to set 777 permissions... Zenphoto setup doesn't complain if I set permissions to 775. But I am wondering if there would be less issues if I just set the "photos" directory recursively to the owner of "http"

Which would be best/proper?

Thanks!
