or something like that
or httpd instead of nobody.

A directory has to be chmod'd at least 555 (I believe) in order to get to it in Apache. Forbidden errors are more often than not permisisons problems, either a directory starting from / is not world executable, or the index file isn't world readable.

but i can access the files in the folders
thats the strange thing

4 - Readable
2 - Writable
1 - Executable

5 = 4+1

644 = user,group,other
user=write+read
group=read only
other=read only

SHOULD work fine..... (644)

I'll see what I can do for you, ok?

I know how chmod works. A directory has to be executable to get into it. Apache won't let you do anything unless the directory is executable. Try setting a directory to 644 and then trying to access it via a web browser. You'll get a forbidden error. At least I do. :)

Assuming nobody does not own anything, the directory must be:
At least 555 to access a file listing of a directory (no index.html)
At least 111 to access any file inside the directory (so long as the file itself has read permissions for the world)

Hmm I always chmod them 755 so you MIGHT be right...

Also depends on the RH version...RH7 is totally different from 6.2

Unix/Linux is Unix/Linux. The day the developers of the kernels start redoing how permissions work is the day security has been compromised and the OS is totally useless. Permissions in RH 7.0 must be the same (at least the base functionality of chmod) as RH 6.2. It must. Too many things are at stake.

thats not what I mean

I noticed sendmail works different on RH7....Stuff like that

Hehe, what does sendmail have to do with the price of tea in china? Nothing. :) Just because Sendmail is different in RH 7.0 than in RH 6.2 doesn't mean the permissions change. :) Bottom line, a directory MUST be executable (that world 1 (x) flag set (unless owned by Apache's user)) in order for Apache NOT to return a Forbidden error.

nevermind

you dont get my point

(slight off topic sorry)
seems to be that a lot of people have said that 7.1 is more secure than 6.2 which had a lot of holes in it
others can jump in and give there pennies but ya might check it out ;)
