What are the permissions of the files in the directory? ie. if the directory is world readable by the files are not, does it work? Are you sure there are not two group www's in the /etc/group file? Double check what group it is running as. Do something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/archive/apache/apache/src# ps ax | grep httpd 4007 ?? Ss 0:25.11 ./httpd 7223 ??
