Question

I am having a weird issues… i have installed WordPress locally (I’m on Ubuntu) and I’m now having troubles accessign an image file… in css I have:

.sprites{ background:url("sprites.png") top left no-repeat; }
._r3_c5{ width:210px; height:204px; background-position:-10px -10px; }

When I try to do:

<div class="sprites _r3_c5">
</div>

I don’t see anything.
If I then check my source, and try yo open the (broken) image in a new tab, I get this message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /current/alex/wp-content/themes/starkers/sprites.png on this server.

Would anybody know the reason for this?

Answer 1

It seems to be directory permission issue, because you are trying fetch a file using http.

How about setting directory permission to 755 or 777?
