What is in that directory, and what is the directory called? What are
the permissions of the files in the directory, and of the directory?

The easiest way to get this info is probably to do a

ls -ld /var/www/directory
ls -l /var/www/directory

Replacing in both instances 'directory' with the name of the directory
you created, and pasting the output in reply.
