Alright, I've been dealing with this for a few days now with no success. I know it is related to users/groups, but I don't think I understand them.
I am running nginx with php-fastcgi enabled. I have WordPress installed and it runs great. WordPress, however, cannot edit it's own files. PHP and nginx are running as www-data. The files/directories are owned by dotorg:dotorg. Ideally, I would like have the PHP process running as the user which should take care of the problem while adding some security.
Any insight is helpful. The System Admins from work I usually go to with this sort of stuff aren't online right now.

Re: Web Server Setup
I figured it out. I had already added www-data to the user's group. I just forgot to chown g+w -R /home/dotorg.
