title: Permission denied to access file on localhost (wordpress install)
body: <p>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:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.sprites{ background:url("sprites.png") top left no-repeat; }
  ._r3_c5{ width:210px; height:204px; background-position:-10px -10px; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="sprites _r3_c5"&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Forbidden
  
  You don't have permission to access /current/alex/wp-content/themes/starkers/sprites.png on this server.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would anybody know the reason for this?</p>
