I run the following command at uni to my user account
chmod -R 700 *
Then, I run
chmod -R 755 public_html
My homepage remains to be "Forbidden" when I browse to it.

Well, your second chmod doesn't seem to be working very well, since your public_html directory is mode 744, not 755.
You'll also need to make it so that your home directory can be "looked through" by the Web server; www user needs execute permission on the directory. chmod o+x . is probably your best bet.
Do you have an index file in the directory?
You would also need to give excute permission to the files in public_html. In the statement you are giving permissions chmod -R 755 public_html, still the permissions given is only 744. So give the execute permissions as well.
I found another bug.
My user folder had the permissions 700.
I changed it to 701.
I can now see my website.
It seems that 701 is required.

What am I missing ?
I have a strange issue on my debian vm.
I have a nginx directory like that.
$ ll
total 9076
-rw-r----- 1 www-data adm 330645 juil. 13 10:40 access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data root 143902 juil. 12 01:08 access.log.1
-rw-r----- 1 www-data adm 852976 juil. 13 10:41 error.log
I try to read the access.log with the foo user.
So, I have added this user to adm group.
$ cat /etc/group | grep adm
adm:x:4:admin,foo
But the user can't read the file. I have tried to add the user to www-data group, but the problem is the same. Do you know what is the problem ?
I thought know how user/group works, it seems not :)
BR,
Eric
To read a file, the user needs execute privileges to all of the parent directories. If your logs are in /var/log/nginx make sure the foo user or one of its groups has x access to each directory (/var, /var/log/, /var/log/nginx) of whatever path logs are in.

I tried this:

psftp> put -r sahifa

But it gave me a permission denied.
Here's the directories.
[ec2-user#ip-172-31-34-160 wp-content]$ ls -al

I tried this but it does not seem to work:

[ec2-user#ip-172-31-34-160 wp-content]$ chmod: changing permissions of ‘themes’: Operation not permitted
I also tried this:
drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody 65534 4096 May 7 01:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 nobody 65534 4096 May 19 06:47 ..

[ec2-user#ip-172-31-34-160 wp-content]$ chmod -v 746 themes
chmod: changing permissions of ‘themes’: Operation not permitted
failed to change mode of ‘themes’ from 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to 0746 (rwxr--rw-)
Can someone give me some advice as to what I should be doing? Is the problem maybe related to the fact that everything seems to be owned by "nobody" ?
Your current user ec2-user does not have permission to move or create files as current directory is owned by nobody:65534. If you have sudo access, put sudo at the beginning of your chmod command.
PS: chmod 777 is never a good idea. You might want to check what is group 65534, and add yourself to that group instead.
I am working on Solaris 10 machine. In that i cannot able to untar my file. Logs are given below. Anyone please suggest what may be the issue? I can able to create tar file but unable to untar. :(
bash-3.2# ls -lrth ConfigCheck-120614-KL.out*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144K Jun 12 17:15 ConfigCheck-120614-KL.out
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 146K Jun 16 16:49 ConfigCheck-120614-KL.out.tar
bash-3.2# tar xvf ConfigCheck-120614-KL.out.tar
tar: extract not authorized
bash-3.2# tar tvf ConfigCheck-120614-KL.out.tar
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 147377 Jun 12 17:15 2014 ConfigCheck-120614-KL.out
Solaris 11 tar will fail with that error message if you are running as uid 0 but do not have the Media Restore profile set up in the RBAC configuration.
Unless you're trying to restore from backup, you should normally be untarring files as a normal user, not root, to avoid accidentally overwriting critical system files.
I keep seeing a 403 error for my stylesheet which is hosted on my Rasberry Pi (webserver). I ran ls -al and this is the result:
pi#raspberrypi ~/www $ ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi root 4096 Mar 17 20:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Mar 15 16:44 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi root 644 Mar 17 20:18 index.html
-rw------- 1 pi root 329 Mar 17 20:19 stylesheet.css
The index.html data shows up when I point my browser at the ip, but there is no formatting and whenever I try to acess the css file through looking at the source code it keeps telling me theres a 403 error :(
Can anyone help a brother out??
Cheers!
You need proper permissions for the www folder, and that depends on which webserver you are running. For apache on debian the user is www-data, if your webroot is ~/www and you are user pi try these commands
Change owner to apache user recursively
Change Permissions to read for all recursively
chown -R www-data:www-data /home/pi/www
chmod -R 644 /home/pi/www
