This is not fun! This is very probably caused by your web server not having access/rights to the appropriate files.

Solution? Simply give your web server user the rights to the web root directory.
Code:
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

Where /var/www/html is your web root directory. This would work for nginx, check your web server config file for the user though. ;)
If this does not solve your problem, please register and reply.
