I think your ownership is messed up however. Do you have an Apache user? When you start Apache and run top, what user does Apache run as?
If the user is www (as on most systems) you will also need to do an:
Code:
sudo chown -R www /var/www

Hi Tim,
Thanks it kinda worked. I chowned to my user account and it works fine now. I have a few questions:
1. I don't have an apache or www account set up. Is this ok? What is the significance of this account?
2. What is the difference between the /var/www and /var/www/html folders?
Thanks for solving my problem.
