It's extremely unlikely that the user "root" is running the webserver.

Login to the system as root and look at all the running processes:

Code:

ps -eaf|more

Look for a process that looks like the web server process (eg. apache or similar known web server).

If you can find the process then the user running it (see column 1) is the user that doesn't have access to the files in the www default directory tree.

If you can't find the web server process, post the whole output of:

Code:

ps -eaf

so that we can have a go.

And also, if you're logged in as "root" (ie, god) you shouldn't have any trouble running 'chown -R'

acl_set_tag_type

ACL_SET_TAG_TYPE(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       ACL_SET_TAG_TYPE(3)

NAME

     acl_set_tag_type -- set the tag type of an ACL entry

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     int
     acl_set_tag_type(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_tag_t tag_type);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_set_tag_type() function is a POSIX.1e call that sets the ACL tag type of ACL entry entry_d to the value of tag_type.

     Valid values are:

	ACL_USER_OBJ	 Permissions apply to file owner
	ACL_USER	 Permissions apply to additional user specified by qualifier
	ACL_GROUP_OBJ	 Permissions apply to file group
	ACL_GROUP	 Permissions apply to additional group specified by qualifier
	ACL_MASK	 Permissions specify mask
	ACL_OTHER	 Permissions apply to other
	ACL_OTHER_OBJ	 Same as ACL_OTHER
	ACL_EVERYONE	 Permissions apply to everyone@

     Calling acl_set_tag_type() with tag_type equal to ACL_MASK, ACL_OTHER or ACL_OTHER_OBJ brands the ACL as POSIX.1e.  Calling it with
     ACL_EVERYONE brands the ACL as NFSv4.

RETURN VALUES

     The acl_set_tag_type() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
     indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The acl_set_tag_type() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]		Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.  Argument tag_type is not a valid ACL tag type.  ACL is
			already branded differently.

SEE ALSO

     acl(3), acl_get_brand_np(3), acl_get_tag_type(3), posix1e(3)

STANDARDS

     POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.

HISTORY

     POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0.  The acl_set_tag_type() function was added in FreeBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     The acl_set_tag_type() function was written by Chris D. Faulhaber <jedgar@fxp.org>.
