today i logged in to find i can't even cd into /var/ directory. I've checked that ownership and it's correct.

/var/www/ is inaccessible from the web browser. it says 403 forbidden.

error log shows

/var/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

Please post more details, e.g. the output of ls -ld /var /var/www. – joschi Aug 7 '10 at 6:27
You're superuser, you see var, but you can't cd into it? Is it mounted on a separate drive? Perhaps you have a failed disk? – medina Aug 7 '10 at 11:55
