chmod and php is not liking 0777

I'm installing a php program and it asks me to chmod directories to 777, well when i do that i get this in my error log of cpanel

timestamp error: directory is writable by others filename

and then the file im trying to reach i get this

Internal Server Error

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


If i change the dirctory to 755 the file will work again, but then the program won't function like its suppose to.

Is there a command I can run to correct this issue? or something in whm i need to adjust?

Thanks
