How do configure Apache?

I would like to install PHPDig - but unfortuntately for me - the instruction for configuring Apache - I find a bit cryptic; I don't understand what I need to do - here are the instructions:

"Unzip the archive in a directory and configure Apache to serve it. (it will be named [PHPDIG_DIR] in the following) The engine did not need a dedicated VirtualHost to operate.
If PhpDig is installed on an Unix operating system server, set the file permissions to writable on the following directories, for the suid Apache server is running :


[PHPDIG_DIR]/text_content
[PHPDIG_DIR]/include
[PHPDIG_DIR]/admin/temp"

Does this mean I add the following lines to my apache.conf file:

[PHPDIG_DIR]/text_content
[PHPDIG_DIR]/include
[PHPDIG_DIR]/admin/temp"

and then chmod the directories so that they are writable by the Apache user?

What does 'for the suid Apache server is running' mean?

Sorry to be so stupid - your help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
