Just `ls -la /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x` will give the listing of the directory. The output should be something like drwxr-xr-x 28 manhat manhat 4096 2006-08-02 16:59 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root manhat 4096 2006-02-11 22:13 .. drwxr-xr-x 13 manhat manhat 4096 2006-05-12 21:09 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 manhat manhat 4096 2006-06-02 19:06 sbin drwxr-xr-x 6 manhat manhat 4096 2006-05-13 08:29 images Don't mind the dates and times but check that the permissions are drwxr-xr-x for '.', 'bin', 'sbin' and 'images'. The first letter means directory, the three following letters are the permission for the owner (read, write, execute), the three following letters are the permission for the group and last the three letters are the permissions for everybody else. The same applies to the files inside the directories, without the first 'd'. If the directories have the permissions drwxr-xr-x, then everybody (including www-data) can access them, but only manhat can write in there. Let's not worry about writing yet, as I think your www-data cannot even read the directory :) One thing I did not notice in your posting: what is the DocumentRoot for your setup? I mean, do you have an index page e.g. in /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x -directory? If so, have you set your DocumentRoot accordingly? If your DocumentRoot points e.g. to /var/www/, then you need an alias: Alias / /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x depending on the location of the index page of course. Of course you can set your DocumentRoot directly to /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x Simo Sorry, if this is too obvious :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Simo Kauppi [mailto:swk@nic.fi] > Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 12:32 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: Apache2 Manhattan Virtual Classroom > > On Mon, Jul 31, 2006 at 05:33:41PM -0400, Cary Pembleton wrote: > > Good Day all Debian folks! > > I am at my wits end!
