403 Forbidden error

Question

I do have Ubuntu desktop 10.04 which all my php web application folder resides at the var/www,copying all files to ubuntu desktop 11.10 var/www folder and run it at the browser with url: "http://localhost/somewebapplication" it gives me (403 Forbidden).

The Apache MySQL PHP already installed and running just fine, just to test I create a php file that displays a phpinfo() at sub-folder var/www/test/ and access it from the browser with url "http://localhost/test" it show's the php information.

what could be the problem?

What do the directory/file permissions look like on the `somewebapplication` directory? — qweet, Jul 11 '12 at 04:41
Logs and config files are the only way we're going to solve this. — womble, Jul 11 '12 at 04:55
I'm sorry but it is my first time to use ubuntu desktop which my boss needs to transfer the files from one to another. By the way how can I get those logs? — aintgel, Jul 11 '12 at 06:30
yes Sir. qweet "somewebapplication" is a example directory under the var/www. — aintgel, Jul 11 '12 at 07:21
The error logs say's: (13)Permission denied var/www/Enchanted Kingdom/.htaccesspcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file. ensure it is readable. — aintgel, Jul 11 '12 at 09:01
