Re: Apache Web Server Permissions

["Mark Thompson" <mthompson ed umuc edu>]

	You should also check to see if the permissions for the directories are at
least set to execute and files are at least read for other under
/home/httpd/html.  This sounds like a permission problem.  You should also check
your conf files to make sure that your server is still set up the way it was
before.  

	You could also check your backups and compare your permissions and config
settings before everything stopped working.
