Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~bjones/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

thanks i got it to work

Re: what shoucd i change them to
 

WOW! That's too much permissions!! :D

It should work that way thou

directories should be 711 at least
This way, the user can do anything to the directory, group and others can only execute it wich is enough for reading files in the directory

It should look like drwx--x--x


Files permission depend on type of file.

html and php should be 644
User can read and write to files, group and others can only read the file

-rw-r--r--

thanks i did not know i gave that much out
