<div>Hey Walt,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Check your httpd.conf and look for the</div>
<div> </div>
<div>User</div>
<div>Group</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I believe by default these are set to nobody.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Set these to whatever user your want your apache daemon to run as.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then change the owner of the files to this userid and make sure the user has at least read access (use chown and chmod).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Lastly, check your log files - access.log and error.log.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>
