I'm configuring Wordpress for a friend, and I just screwed up the Wordpress directory permissions (I suspect) using setfacl. Webfaction doesn't allow sudo or allow me to change the directory group ownership using chown.

Now it appears that something I did is causing the entire application to give me 403 errors when I try to access it.

The current directory listing looks like this (I set the whole thing to 777 temporarily to try to recover access to it):

The getfacl output looks like this:

# file: .
# owner: myusername
# group: myusername
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:apache:rw-
mask::rwx
other::r-x

I simply wanted to change the ownership to myusername:apache and the file permissions to 755. I have no idea how to fix the permissions now.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks, Tom
