Um ... kinetics has to reside INSIDE your public_html
directory. Move EVRYTHING into there.
That is your document root for ~mikel.

The error message means that you are trying to view
an empty directory.
Your file permissions look fine :-)
Oh, when experiencing errors like this, tail -f error_log in a shell,
and keep watching that window! error_log tells you alot more than
access_log ... down to things like "file does not exist" or "file
permissions deny server execution" ... really useful :)
