>> chmod -R 755 /path/to/document/root you should replace /path/to/document/root with the actual path to your document root - the path to the folder you want apache to make accessible. In my case for example, I keep my websites at /var/www (which is the default location). You can check the location of your document root in your config files, default under /etc/apache2. The file you should be looking for from there is sites-available/default. Check for the value behind DocumentRoot, and use that to replace /path/to/document/root. And, like Kirst says, find out what the value of apache's User is. Evert On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 2:58 PM, Ch Praveena <ps050202@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ok..
