title: Apache is not able to read my .css files
body: <p>I have a LAMP setup on my Linux Mint machine and everytime I try to open an index file which has some css styling done in an external file, my browser can't show the css styling and gives me an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and from the apache error log:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Sun Oct 13 20:04:03 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /blog/js/bootstrap.js denied, referer: http://localhost/blog/index.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I know that it has something to do with permissions, but I can't really seem to get over it. I tried to do <code>chmod 777 folder</code> but it doesn't seem to work.</p>
