With a fresh Ubuntu LAMP stack, I'm wondering why Apache serves up a Forbidden: Permission Denied error for my site.
Apache2 was setup with the default user/group www-data
.
It's document root is /var/www
The permissions of that folder and its contents are 744 webmaster:www-data
The webmaster is just a sudo user for maintenance and has been added to the www-data group.
But by all things, shouldn't this work?
Answer
A directory needs to have the execute permission set as well as the read permission. So
chmod 755 /var/www
should solve your problem.
