Some of the websites on my server seem to generate this error message in my logs. Does anyone know how to remedy this or at least tell me what is causing it? Thanks.

I could be barking up the wrong tree here, but I would start with the Unix permissions on that directory.
Apologies if you have already tried this, just a thought

No Problem...

I have the directories set to the permissions of their owners.

drwx--x--x 11 robert root 4096 Aug 19 12:00 kritterville.com

As an example.
 
Ummm.... no read permissions for the webserver user? Why do you have it like that? //Daniel
 
It can read it.
The inside of these dir are rwxr-xr-x. Everything seems to work fine. It is just the error entry in the error log.
No other problems..just wish it didn't fill up the log with this.
