Here is a small test program that you can use to check the permissions.
You can compile it with:
cc -o test test.c
then run it with:
./test apache /home/rgm/public_html/family/
where apache is the name of the user that your web server runs under
(check it with ps -ef | grep http). You should run it as root (or from
sudo).
