file permissions on html folder
Hello Everyone,
sorry for the newbie question. I was stupid enough to change the filerights on the html folder. Now I am getting the 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server. I tried changing the permissions to 'nobody' but it didn't work. could someone tell me what it should be please?
TIA
Regards
Tony Fortunato

Hell yes! I'm glad somebody caught that. Nothing should be world
writeable on the web site.

hmmmm.... 777 makes it all "world writeable"... shouldn't the directories
be 755 and the files 644....???? at least that is what I see.

The directory needs read and execute permission for the user running the
apache httpd process. apache most of the time runs under the user
nobody, but your distribution may have set it up more securely to run
under a special user (most of the time called »apache«). The name of
the user is set in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Look for the »User« and
»Group« directive.
So the directory /var/www/html (or where ever your docroot is) needs to
be at least 7xx, if the owner is nobody or apache (check with ls -la
/var/www/html).
chmod u=rwx /var/www/html
chown nobody /var/www/html
OR:
chown apache /var/www/html
PS: Your line is too long. Please keep it at ~72 chars/line. Thanks.

Try this:
chmod 644 for all your files
chmod 755 for all your directories.
777 allows the entire world to write to those directories or files. If
you want writable files down the road, try 666 or 766.

Try instead
<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Be careful, it's a very dangerous option, please change the "/" (root
directory) for the one where you have htdocs, or the pages you want to
serve.
