  1. This doesnt work..

  2. That did the trick for me. Permissions were 750, changed back to 755. Thanks!

    Now to figure out who changed it in the first place …

  3. check the user and group. Should be user . usergroup.
    Also check for any invalid or wrong entry in htaccess file

  4. it could be you’re using selinux..

  5. Check you directories for the .. path, yo umay find that they are not owned by the user you have given access to for the rest of the files.
    chown user:group ..
    may fix the issue

  6. Thanks a lot,
    I’ve wasted an hour trying to solve this simple issue =)
    Obvious, but I forgot the whole path should be checked against permissions
