  = (13) Permission Denied =
  '''Error 13 indicates a filesystem permissions problem. That is, Apache was denied access to a file or directory due to incorrect permissions. It does not, in general, imply a problem in the Apache configuration files.'''
  
- In order to serve files, Apache must have the proper permission granted by the operating system to access those files. In particular, the {{{User}}} or {{{Group}}} specified in {{{httpd.conf}}} must be able to read all files that will be served and search the directory containing those files, along with all parent directories up to the root of the filesystem.
+ In order to serve files, Apache must have the proper permission granted by the operating system to access those files. In particular, the {{{User}}} or {{{Group}}} specified in {{{httpd.conf}}} must be able to read all files that will be served and """search the directory containing those files, along with all parent directories up to the root of the filesystem""".
  
  Typical permissions on a unix-like system for resources not owned by the {{{User}}} or {{{Group}}} specified in {{{httpd.conf}}} would be 644 {{{-rw-r--r--}}} for ordinary files and 755 {{{drwxr-x-r-x}}} for directories or CGI scripts. You may also need to check extended permissions (such as SELinux permissions) on operating systems that support them.
