Very happy to see your response :)

I ve got the message as follows in my command line:

[root@praveena ~]# chown www-user /path/to/document/root
chown: `www-user': invalid user
[root@praveena ~]# chown www-data /path/to/document/root
chown: `www-data': invalid user

NOTE: I ve not given the default PREFIX path while configuring the httpd home directory.

It doesn't matter which user you've started apache with. The
permissions apache works with are by default set to 'www-user' (in
apache2.conf), meaning that www-user needs to have access to your
document root folder.

Check which folder is your document root and I think this command
should ix your problem:
>> chown www-user /path/to/document/root

Try and let us know
