ok, so basicly I did a major dodo doo doo tonight with a server I tinker with...

I have a small server running slackware that I have access to root... now I know that it's not a good idea to be logged in as root to do work because you could do silly things... so I was going to be *smart* and give my user ID ownership of everything in Apache's public folder...

I exectued the following statement:

chown -R user htdocs

and now my little website is all locked out, everything is giving a 403 Forbidden error.

So... laugh at me and make fun... but only after you tell me what I did and how to fix it.

Tanks.

Never mind... I tinkered a bit more and got it back...

*breaths a big heavy sigh of relief.*
