Hmm. While I agree that the data in the FAQ entry would've probably helped me 
solve the problem 
faster, the actual error I got did not suceed in leading me to that FAQ entry, 
so that's kindof a moot 
point.

Also, simply check out this google query:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=%22unable+to+check+htaccess+file,
+ensure+it+is+readable%22+awstats&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

to see how many people are having this same problem. I don't think it's 
unusually stupid of me to have 
had so much trouble tracking it down, even if it is something that'd be obvious 
to an expert.

It makes perfect sense to check perms along the path if an EXISTING file cannot 
be read. However, it 
doesn't really make sense that a NON-EXISTING FILE cannot be read due to 
permissions. That's why the 
error message is confusing. 

While I certainly understand not wanting to get more granular with the error 
messages (because it'd 
take more code and performance to supply the more granular info), is there a 
good reason not to 
inlcude a link to the FAQ entry in the error message? Or to put some more text 
in the error message to 
remind people of what to check in case of permission denied?

The simple fact that the answer to this question lies in an FAQ IMHO is ample 
evidence to support the 
improvement of the error message! If the error message were better, the FAQ 
entry would not be 
necessary...
