PHP works in directory but subdirectory?

[runester]

Hello;

 

Here are the facts:

• I'm using PHP 5.1.6 and Apache/2.2.6
  
• I have both Apache and PHP working.
  
• This document is visible from a remote browser: /var/www/html/index.html
  
• This document is visible from a remote browser: /var/www/html/test.php
  
• This document is visible from a remote browser: /var/www/html/testy/index.html
  
• This document is NOT visible from a remote browser: /var/www/html/testy/test.php
  
• I receive a "403 Forbidden" error
  
• The Apache error log displays "(13)Permission denied"
  

 

So, test.php works in the document root directory but not a subdirectory. Changing permissions to 777 makes no difference. Changing the owner from root to apache makes no difference.

 

Does anyone know why a php document is visible from the document root directory and not one of it's subdirectories? (Thanks!)
