sub directories permissions

[conradin]

Hi all,
I have an Apache http server on the 10.04 version of ubuntu. Users who set up a public_html have webpages. but, if they create directories, anything within the directory will get a fobbiden warning when someone tries to navigate to any content in a folder of the public_html folder.

whats going on here? And how do I fix it?

heres the stat info about my public_html folder if it helps:

$ stat public_html/
File: `public_html/'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 806h/2054d Inode: 917795 Links: 4

I solved it,
I verified that everything was set up right with this article:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/50493/setting-up-a-web-server-using-multiple-user-accounts

then saw that in the folder, I had:


$ ll
total 316
drwxr-xr-x 2 jay jay 4096 2012-08-26 23:02 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 jay jay 4096 2012-08-27 21:48 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 jay jay 193 2012-08-26 23:03 index.html
-rw------- 1 jay jay 146473 2012-08-26 23:02 linuxchix.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 jay jay 147456 2012-08-26 22:51 .linuxchix.php.swo
-rw-r--r-- 1 jay jay 12288 2012-08-26 21:46 .linuxchix.php.swp



I guess I mush have had some problem the last time I was using vim, and changed the permissions or something. ...
got rid of the .swp and .swo files, and did chmod +r to the .html. and it worked. When I tried the copy to another directory I didn't bother to check the file permissions.

--argh.
