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'
