If it's true that the file in question is only rw by the user ie 0600 or
-rw------- 1 user user
then it cannot be read by you OR the webserver -- unless the webserver is
running as root (unlikely). So the question is, are you 100% positively sure
that the permissions are as you said only read/write for the user?
