install help

[Erik N. Mullinix]

At first looks this would sound like you have all the variables and the
server is failing on an unexpected note.  However here are a few tests
that might help determine the issue.
First off try to figure what the file calls (within itself as resources
to make it work).  Also if more than one file within this one directory,
check the other files independently to determine if they are available
to.  You might have a virtual server configuration issue, and everything
from a files perspective looks right but not the server's perspective.
If you only have the one file or there are multiples that cause the same
problem try adding a test.html file and see if the web server will serve
it up.

Admittedly my suggestions are based on a troubleshooting method I use
for similar but not the exact same problem you're having.  If you come
across the solution for your problem in any fashion could you let the
rest of us know what was done and how you found the fix?

Yes I've checked that also, I've also tried setting the user/group to
