You don't have permission error in Apache in CentOS

I solved the problem. After meddling with the permission of the system I found out that the user "anjan" who is owner of /home/anjan had read/write/execute permission on /home/anjan but the group "anjan", created when user "anjan" was created didn't have any permission at all.

ls -l /home/

showed

drwx------. 28 anjan anjan 4096 Jan 21 13:19 anjan

so I changed the permission with this command

chmod -R 770 /home/anjan
ls -l /home/
drwxrwx---. 28 anjan anjan 4096 Jan 21 13:19 anjan

i found out under which user my apache is running from this thread. It was running under user "apache"

so I added user "apache" to group "anjan" with this command.

usermod -G anjan,apache apache

after that voila. No more Forbidden error.

P.S. I did everything as the root user.

UPDATE It seems the provided link is broken now. Heres another one.

Just to be safe(to avoid future broken links), copying the command here. In terminal type -

ps axo user,group,comm | grep apache
