I'm running Centos 6.2, and Apache. I'm running into an error to do with access rights/permissions when trying to navigate to a webpage. I'm trying to go to the URL http://localhost/repos, but I get the error:

You don't have permission to access /repos on this server

Am I missing something essential? I've tried running chmod 775, which I believe should have given me the correct access rights, but to no avail.

First figure out what physical directory is related to http://localhost/repos. Then check all parent directories of proper privileges for the user your webserver is running under. – jippie Jan 2 at 20:53
What error appears in the logs? – Gilles Jan 2 at 23:32

Run restorcon -Rv on the directory in question. If it's permissions, and chmod doesn't fix it, it's probably selinux.

Are you sure your permission directives (allow/deny) in your httpd.conf (or includes) are correct?
