and i for one am going to have to ask you to live up to your license
plate dom de plume a little bit better. these friendly, intelligent,
well thought answers are simply not acceptable. the bofh tag is not a
privledge, not a right. you want the bofh tag? then start acting like one.

I would say the problem is a bit simpler, but I could be wrong (as
Joseph pointed out yesterday :) ). Apache needs to be able to read the
files, via standard UNIX file permissions. Because it's apparently
running as group Apache, that group needs read access to those files,
and if there are directories involved, execute access to be able to
descend into them. You can easily remedy this problem after dropping
your 800megs of files into place, with the following two commands:
chgrp -R apache /var/www/html/
chmod -R g+rx /var/www/html/
These commands will change the group (chgrp) recursively (-R) to apache
on /var/www/html/, and then change the file permissions mode (chmod)
recursively (-R) adding read and execute permissions for the group
(g+rw) on all files in /var/www/html/. As always, you should read the
man pages for chgrp and chmod before trusting any commands like this
from a mailing list. After all, my license plate reads BOFH. :)
