 * I’m getting a 403 Forbidden to access index.html in the supercache folder.
 * It seems that since the 0.8 update today, the index.html created doesn’t have
   the right permission. Permission is set at 600 and I think it should be 755.

 * No .html or .php **file** needs to be chmod 755, so you are wrong.
 * Try 644 or something else that begins with 6.
 * and if youre getting a permission error, just use your ftp client, and chmod 
   the file. its not that hard.

 * I tried that, then it works but when supercache cleans the expired pages, it 
   resets to 600, then I get the 403 error again.
 * Right now I turned it to Half-off but it’s not a solution.

 * xof711 – are you using something like suphp? Does php run as a different user
   to Apache? I’m going to add a fix for this that changes the perms but it should
   work, because 600 means it’s readable by the owner. Which is why I think the 
   script and Apache are running as different users ..

 * Just to let know that xof711 is not the only one.. I’m using the biggest hosting
   service provider in Bulgaria, and I’ve also gotten the same error. I had to restore
   a backup with the earlier version.

 * I too have the same issues when using super cache with [labnol.org](http://www.labnol.org/)
 * The apache error log has tons of entries like this after I upgraded to v .8
 * `Permission denied: file permissions deny server access:`
 * Will re-enable the plugin once a fix is out.
 * Thanks.

 * I woke up this morning and saw my home page had a forbidden file access error
   in the cache directory. I think the problem surfaced after the Super Cache upgrade
   yesterday. I deleted the cache directory and removed the plugin. I’ll wait for
   a fix. Thank you.

 * This is probably due to the issue I posted in the last post of [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/201085?replies=7](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/201085?replies=7).
 * The one-line change there will fix it.

 * tigertech, this describes it perfectly. Thanks…
 * There is a new update tho, 0.8.1 and hopefully, this will fix the problem.
