Can't access files on own server
This is very baffling. I have a web server directory, http://domainName/myDir. The directory's permissions are 744, so I have full permisions, and other people can read the directory. I created a subdirectory in that directory: domainName/myDir/subDir. I set the permisions of that to 744 also. However, when I try to access the contents of that subdirectory from my browser by typing in the address, it says it is forbidden and I do not have access.

Why is this?

The exec bit needs to be set on the directory. Set files to 644 and directories to 755.

EDIT: The webservier is not your id with 744 it can't access the directory correctly.

I set the directory to 755 and I get the same message. Perhaps it's the way I have the index.html page set up on the main directory...I'll have to check that out.

You may have directory listsing disabled by default in the webserver (apache ? ) configuration.
