'(13)Permission denied' for photo viewing

[sirduncan]

I am running a photo album and have my scripts setup. The pages all display correctly, suggesting the scripts are all correct. However, none of the photos are displaying, all showing broken.

In my error log file, for each image attempt, I am seeing the following:

[Fri Sep 26 10:02:09 2008] [crit] [client 63.228.176.38] (13)Permission denied: /home/sirdunca/public_html/cgi-bin/photos/accounts/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: http://hellofamily.pcriot.com/cgi-bin/photos/index.cgi?board=duncans&album=


It appears this following thread has/had the same issue, but it is closed, with no answer is posted:

Did you delete the .htaccess file?
I can't find one.

No, I did not delete my htaccess file. The file is in the main directory, in public_html. I copied that file and put it in my cgi-bin, but to no avail.

I also copied my images from the cgi-bin to the public_html/paimages folder and it gives the same error. I am still unable to see my images. Do images need to be uploaded in a special format?
