IM hosting a local server, and everytime i try to visit a webpage on my local server, i get a 403 forbidden, even after I chmod the files. I did a
chmod a+r html
on the folder that stores all the files, could this be a reason that i cannot access any? Thanks

At minimum the world should have read access.. do an ls -al on your file(s) in question and post it here, or try a:

chmod 644 <filename>

And then see if you can see the files from your webserver in a browser.

You may have to chmod -R 'permissions' 'filename' so that all the files in your html directory change recursively
