LinuxQuestions.org - Apache 2 permissions problem?

ok. here it is.
Code:
#

# /etc/apache2/httpd.conf 

#

# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the

# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about

# the directives.



# Based upon the default apache configuration file that ships with apache,

# which is based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob

# McCool. This file was knocked together by Peter Poeml <poeml+apache@suse.de>.



# If possible, avoid changes to this file. It does mainly contain Include

# statements and global settings that can/should be overridden in the

# configuration of your virtual hosts.





# Overview of include files, chronologically:

#  |-- uid.conf  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  UserID/GroupID to run under

### Global Environment ######################################################

#

# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,

# such as the number of concurrent requests.



# run under this user/group id

Include /etc/apache2/uid.conf



# - how many server processes to start (server pool regulation)

# - usage of KeepAlive

Include /etc/apache2/server-tuning.conf



# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>

# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

# logged here.  If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>

# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_log



# generated from APACHE_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/apache2

### 'Main' server configuration #############################################

#

# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'

# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a

# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for

# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.

#

# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,

# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the

# virtual host being defined.

#

Include /etc/apache2/default-server.conf





# Another way to include your own files

#

# The file below is generated from /etc/sysconfig/apache2,

# include arbitrary files as named in APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES and

# APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_DIRS

Include /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/include.conf





### Virtual server configuration ############################################

#

# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your

# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations

# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about

# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.

#

# Please see the documentation at

# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>

# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.

#

# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host

# configuration.

#

Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf





# Note: instead of adding your own configuration here, consider 

#      adding it in your own file (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.local)

#      putting its name into APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in 

#      /etc/sysconfig/apache2 -- this will make system updates 

#      easier :)
