Solution 1 - Php

You need to change permissions on the folder bootstrap/css. Your super user may be able to access it but it doesn't mean apache or nginx have access to it, that's why you still need to change the permissions.

Tip: I usually make the apache/nginx's user group owner of that kind of folders and give 775 permission to it.

Solution 2 - Php

Find out the web server user

open up terminal and type lsof -i tcp:80

This will show you the user of the web server process Here is an example from a raspberry pi running debian:

COMMAND   PID     USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
apache2  7478 www-data    3u  IPv4 450666      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
apache2  7664 www-data    3u  IPv4 450666      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
apache2  7794 www-data    3u  IPv4 450666      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)

The user is www-data

If you give ownership of the web files to the web server:

chown www-data:www-data -R /opt/lamp/htdocs

And chmod 755 for good measure:

chmod 755 -R /opt/lamp/htdocs

Let me know how you go, maybe you need to use 'sudo' before the command, i.e. sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /opt/lamp/htdocs

if it doesn't work, please give us the output of: ls -al /opt/lamp/htdocs

Solution 3 - Php

A fast solution can be change permissions with:

sudo chmod -R 755

If you are managing a production server be careful and dont add a permission that you dont need.
