[ILUG-BOM] Apache server.

Sometime Today, acharya at dacafe.com assembled some asciibets to say:

change the permission to 755.
make sure that you have Indexes on for the <Directory> that you are
trying to look at.  Make sure permissions on any index.html/whatever
else your directory index is set to is 644.  There may be more you have
to look at, but I can't think of it right now.

Remotely, try telnet, ssh, rlogin/rsh, ftp.  If you can log in to the
machine, chances are you have permissions to read public_html files.

if you're local, then use lynx, netscape, mozilla, opera, w3m, links,
emacs, vi, cat, ed, etc.  Netscape may require a file:/// before the
path to the file.
