I think that the problem is file system permissions. My Apache processes are running as user and group "apache", but the data under /home/kdo/working/excessinv is (of course) owned by user "kdo". One "fix" is to set all the permissions on my directories under /home/kdo to 777. It's insecure though. Isn't there a way to tell apache who own's a certain directory? Maybe with the user and group commands in a <Directory> block? Any help is appreciated!
