I had apache working great, serving pages from the /home/dotan/www/public_html directory as DocumentRoot. Now that I want to move it back to the default /var/www/html I am getting this error (after making the appropriate changes to httpd.conf and restarting the server): Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. So I checked the FAQs at apache.org, and I see that: * The underlying file system permissions do not allow the User/Group under which Apache is running to access the necessary files; or * The Apache configuration has some access restrictions in place which forbid access to the files. My log looks like this: [Sun Oct 09 17:58:05 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied So how do I change my permissions so that apache can access the files in /var/www and also, so that the user 'work' can read and write to those files as well? Thanks all in advance for excusing my ignorance.
