cannot access files in apache
i've never had this happen before, but i cannot access files from the shell in my apache server but i can see them on my localhost and by typing in my ip address in the url i can access and view files. not through the shell tho....

Code:
kumi@throne:/var/www % ls -l templates/decorative 
total 0
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? templates/decorative/default.css
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? templates/decorative/images
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? templates/decorative/index.html
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? templates/decorative/license.txt

but when i type in http://my.ip.add.ress/templates/decorative i'm accessing these pages no problem. what's the deal????

seems like you do not have read permission for those files.

If you want to check if more than one copies of them are present at your machine, use:
Code:
find / -type f -name "default.css" 2>/dev/null

(check this if you have more than one instances of web server running)

the ls output for /var/www/templates shows that there is no decorative directory underneath it.

if you do a ls -liq in the /var/www/ directory do you see 2 templates directories with different inode numbers? one maybe followed by a questionmark (?) and "decorative" (i.e. templates?decorative).

If so then you have somehow managed to get a directory or file called templates/decorative.

you should be able to rename it with

find /var/www/ -inode <inode number> -exec mv {} decorative \;

and if that works you can use mv again to pop the (newly renamed) decorative dir into the templates dir
mv decorative templates/
