I had the exact same problem a couple of days ago, shame I didn't see your
question until you'd solved it yourself as I recognised the problem
immediately!

What's the reason for the second command?
As it stands you've made all files in your home directory executable by
anyone, which is probably not what you wanted.
sudo chmod -R a+rX /home/stu/www
.. should have been enough. And for that matter, so should:
chmod -R a+rX /home/stu/www
.. as the files were presumably already owned by you so you shouldn't have
needed sudo to grant permissions to others.
Note I didn't include the trailing / - I think your first command probably
didn't give access to the www directory itself, just to files/directories
below it.
