I used this to set up a web server, walked away from my laptop. My laptop restarted when I was away (blame Windows). Anyways, now I can no longer ssh into the web server I just set up. Any troubleshoot?

Somehow I am getting a 403 Forbidden.

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/username/www
sudo chmod -R 755 /home/username/www


ls -la /home/username/www
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 username username 4096 Jul 10 10:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 username username 4096 Jul 10 10:48 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 username username 11 Jul 10 10:32 index.html

That’s a nice article. For non tech people check out EasyApacheServer (https://github.com/realpvn/EasyApacheServer) it basically sets up everything for you, just ssh to the server and run this script
