Hi Ralph, thank You for Your reply. But a solution for the httpd server will still lack permissions for the uwsgi demon. Otherwise, I've noticed some files in my home directory have permissions 755, while others have only 744. For executable scripts, IMHO 755 should be correct, so I set those permissions. But my home directory itself isn't accessible (permissins 710, and it even seems it should have 700), so this doesn't work, too. I also tried to create a symbolic link to some directory I haven't access to as a normal user (using sudo and chown -h), but this doesn't seem to work, either (I only tried a directory listing). So far, the problem seems I need to permit access not only to the directories I want to grant it, but also to the parent directories, what is not what I want. So, is there some other way than to use ACLs (Well, I guess they don't solve the problem with folders hierarchy, but at least they give finer control, hopefully, to what is allowed. The problem with existing permissions is, while my home directory is "protected", everything in it has only loosely assigned restrictions, so opening my home directory for general access seems to be a bad idea ...)?

Hi Peter,
how can I grant Apache httpd permissions to present files out of my home directory? https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/public_html.html isn't exactly what you want, but investigating what it suggests and how it works may lead there.
