I've had some issues with Web Sharing on a G5 that I upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. I did some digging around here for tips about permissions and tried a couple of hints without success.

Then I remembered a tip about using the Password Reset app included on the Leopard Install DVD. Not only can you reset the password, but you can also restore ACL (access control lists) for any user.

I did this and all my problems vanished.
