All that has been chown'ed to apache:apache as I just noted some of it was owned by root. I can goto that page with FF3 and display the contents as a file listing just fine. I cannot actually view, from a web browser, any of the text files there displayed, or start a download of any of the compressed files that may be there. Just for grins I fired up FF-2.0.0.14, and it works fine. Is there some option I need to enable in FF3? </blockquote></div> as long as it works fine on FF2 it is not something related to permissions, what is the error you get from FF3 when starting it from terminal and trying to download the compressed files? or what did FF3 say? connection failed ? or what?
