It's a matter of rights. I guess that jlb41 & apache are not in the same
primary group either, so the directory /home/jlb41/public_html would
need to be writable by other (and that might become a security/deface
issue; you might want to play in a deeper sub-directory in production).

First take note of the rights from "ls -ld /home/jlb41/public_html"
then try "chmod 777 /home/jlb41/public_html"
and try again php for system("date >new_test_file")

If it works, then try povray.
