[Discuss] apache

Check the permissions on /home, the parent directory of your home
directory. I remember having to change it from its default, because a cron
job run from another user id was unable to access my home directory.

I believe that /home originally had permissions something like drwx--x--x,
and that I needed to add read permission for group and other before the
cron script could access my home directory.
