.htaccess and possibly related problems

[swcng2001]

Could it be that you do not have permissions, httpd probably runs as its own user.

Thanks. I checked and the user and group for pages, users, zip under the backups directory were all _wwwtaff. If I were to change these to my user id and group would it cause any problems. What is the alternative?

I installed GetSimple under /Library/WebServer/Documents and perform exactly the same commands and did not find any problems. The user and group for the directories in question were _wwwtaff, but this was alright running under the root directory.
