Problems with a VPS host...what should I do?

[gazfocus]

I have got a VPS Server with bodhost and I am having some issues with file/directory permissions.

Basically, if I install Joomla CMS on my VPS, Joomla throws up errors about the directories not being writable. The permissions are set to 755 which is correct, but it appears that the Joomla install isn't running as the correct user or something.

However, I also have a bog standard web hosting account with another company and when I install Joomla onto that, it works perfectly. The permissions are still set to 755 but everything is writable.

I know I can change each folders permission to 777 but that poses a security issue so is there anything I can do to fix this?
