This is my first experience with SSL.  I have done the
Google thing and searched Apache FAQ etc but found
nothing regarding my problem.

In a nutshell, I have the following file structure:

/var/ssl/www/index.html
/var/ssl/www/budget/index.html

Everything in both paths is owned by root and either
755 or 644 as appropriate for directories and files.

I have the server working for /var/ssl/www/index.html
but I get a "HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden" error trying
to view /var/ssl/www/budget/index.html

The logs are uninformative as to WHY access to
/var/ssl/www/budget/index.html is being forbidden.

My impression was that subdirectories should inherit
the access rights of their parent if I do nothing to
override that behavior.

I have an http server configured similarly running in
the same instance of Apache 2.2.6 (on port 2080 so as
to not conflict with my production web site running on
port 80).  It works as expected, including acces to
subdirectories.

The URLs are
    https://daniel.ameriroots.com
and
    http://daniel.ameriroots.com:2080

I have reduced the httpd.conf file to the following
essentials (this is what is presently running on the
above URLs):

    <Directory /var/ssl/www>

</VirtualHost>

The log files are unenlightening, even at debug level
where I get lots of detail on SSL calculations, but a
simple access denied message on the file itself.

What am I missing here?
