What user is Apache running as? What's the output of running "ls -l /www/html/platinum" as that user? – pgl Dec 21 '11 at 10:40
when runs command : ls: cannot access /www/html/platinum: No such file or directory and apache log for user is as follow -D AP_DOC_ROOT="/var/www" -D AP_GID_MIN=100 -D AP_HTTPD_USER="apache" -D AP_LOG_EXEC="/var/log/httpd/suexec.log" -D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" -D AP_UID_MIN=500 -D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html" – Junior Dev Dec 21 '11 at 10:48

It seems that, there is no dir named platinum in the /www/html/. So, first create the dir platinum in /www/html/ and set the user and group of the apache to the created folder.
