CHMOD Folder Permission Setting Not Working

CHMOD Folder Permission Setting Not Working

Whenever i try to CHMOD my folder to 777, i get this error "FileOp Failure On : "<file path>" Operation Not permitted.". Isn't this a problem with the hosting service?? I've my folder permissions as 755. The folder is generated by a php script, (Joomla CMS). Shouldn't i be able to upload files into it through the php script itself, (ie Joomla)?? I want to create a folder with a certain permission and the subfolder inside it should belong to the same permission as the parent folder. how do i achieve that. If this is not the right section for these questions, kindly direct me. Thanks

Can you see who has ownership of the folder? There should be a user & a group.
