Bug Description

web file server lighttpd 403 error serving /home/user/movies

I'm trying to get lighttpd to serve up media files on my LAN

I've set the www-data to /home/user/Movies

enabled dir-listing enabled in lighttpd config
changed permissions on the data folder to user:www-data 755

restarted lighttpd
but I get 403 forbidden when opening

folder permissions
user:group both default www-data
tried other permissions, no web access just 403 errors
