Changing the group of the AUR tree to what your HTTP/FastCGI server uses is probably the easiest "right" way to do this, but since permissions pretty much depend on your setup and since this isn't anything AUR-specific, I think we should not add anything detailed... > > Regards, Marcel

I'm also not a fan of setting world access to my home directory, but this was the solution that popped up after a Google search. I think a note about permissions being setup correctly is just too summarily: what does correctly mean in this case? A user still has to Google why they get a 403. Or is a better solution available to grant Apache access to a directory in the home dir? Regards, Marcel

It's better to just make a note for the user to check that all their permissions are setup correctly.
