Glad you got to the bottom of it. htdig.conf doesn't need execute permission, though. It can be 644 as well. However, all directories leading down to either of these files will need execute permission, at least for the user ID under which the web server runs. E.g., if htdig.conf is in /etc/htdig, then /, /etc, and /etc/htdig should be set to 755. -- Gilles R.
