apache woes forbidden strange

[Dan]

yaa i know that. its just been bugging me for so many hours and im running
out of things to try, so i thought id try giving it every access i could
find.

I tried renaming the file, moving it to another directory, but still apache
cannot see it.  Everyone else can, even my normal user..

Ill have a look at your suggestions.

Regards
Dan
