what do you mean by "Nothing is working"?

For me it works without a problem:

$ mkdir a
$ ls -ld a
drwx------ 2 maierkom maierkom 4096 Jun 14 08:57 a/
$ chmod 0777 a
$ ls -ld a
drwxrwxrwx 2 maierkom maierkom 4096 Jun 14 08:57 a/

Hey I am sorry ...

just now i could find that actually i belong to some other grp .....

can you tell me how to change the grp of directory .... using chgrp
command ..

Please explain "Nothing is working" further. Errors, if any.

What's the output of "id"?

Are the files on a local filesystem or NFS mounted? The remote
filesystem may not be share'd with the root= attribute.

chgrp will only work if you are the owner of the directory... See "man
chgrp" and "man chown" for details.

Please: if you have a problem, copy/paste the output of your terminal,
so that one knows what you are doing. Then it is much easier to tell you
what went wrong and how you can achieve what you want to do...

The error i get after I run
chmod 0777
or chmod 777
or chmod -R 777
or chmod -Rv 777 is

chmod: WARNING: can't change EdocsTempDir.

I run id command which returns : uid=1001(oracle) gid=101(oinstall)

The ls -l for the directory returns : drwxr-xr-x 2 root other
512 Mar 18 2005 EdocsTempDir

Please help.

As I said already. You have to be the owner of the directory to be able
to change the group or permissions. Directory owner in your case is
root, and you are user oracle.

getfacal (dir) for the permissions
man setfacal (sorry not on my netra atm) works
