.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

Ich habe eine Drupalinstallation von einem cpanel-Backup zu einem VPS migriert.

Vorgehensweise.
MySQL-DB via Konsole importiert (neuer DB-Name, neues PW)
public_html in neues Verzeiczhnis am VPS mit anderem Namen kopiert.
sites/default/settings.php neue DB und PW eingetragen

Nun sehe ich im Apache-Log:
.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

ll .htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3728 2009-09-15 09:21 .htaccess

ll settings.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8911 2009-09-15 09:28 settings.php

Beim Aufruf der Seite kommt:

Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403

Then it seems that the nobody user is not getting read and executing permission upto any of that folder.So make sure that the public_html and the subdomain are set read and executing permission.

Hmmh, irgendwann lief Drupal mit nobody.
