Apache (propably) runs as the 'www' user and group.
So each file (and path) needs to be readable by
-> the www group
OR the www users must be a member of the group
of the diretory
OR the world
And each directory needs the 'x' access flag set.
See the man pages for chmod, chown and chgrp for more details
Example:
drwxr-xr-x 10 dirkx staff 512 Nov 12 2003 swad
-rw-r--r-- 1 dirkx staff 711332 Sep 24 2003 tabellenWADI.pdf
Can be seen by www (world readable and directory has x)
drwxr-x-- 10 dirkx staff 512 Nov 12 2003 swad
-rw-r---- 1 dirkx staff 711332 Sep 24 2003 tabellenWADI.pdf
Cannot be seen by www UNLESS www is a member of 'staff' (i.e. www is in
the staff line in /etc/group).
drwx---- 10 dirkx staff 512 Nov 12 2003 swad
-rw----- 1 dirkx staff 711332 Sep 24 2003 tabellenWADI.pdf
Can never be seen by the web server as it runs as 'www'.
Note that the web server needs to traverse the entire path; so for a file
ro dir /home/dirkx/public_html/index.html check:
/
/home
/home/dirkx
/home/dirkx/pulic_html
for an x in world/other or the right group
and the file
/home/dirkx/public_html/index.html
for read. If you want something different read the manual of apache, and
in particular the SUID mode. See also the FAQ of apache.
