 * So my theme was working one day and not the next. it says my style.css file is
   not readable, but its in the right location and i never edited it at all.
 * it just cant read it anymore for some bizarre reason.

   cannot read the style.css

 * I had the same problem. And my files were looking perfect, readable and writable,
   I could open them individually and edit normally, but wordpress would say style.
   css was not readable.
 * After a while I realized that my server might have assigned chmod _sharing folder_
   permission for all my files and folders (it appears as “rwx”). I simply changed
   the files (not the folders) to _sharing file_ chmod’s permissions (rw-) and refreshed
   the “presentation” page. The theme appeared and worked normally!
 * Hope this helps
