I just created the sass directory in my stylesheets directory and when I reload my page I get this error: Status: 500 Internal Server Error Permission denied - /Users/Justin/kicksite/trunk/public/ stylesheets/ application.css /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/haml-2.0.0/lib/sass/plugin.rb: 72:in `initialize' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/haml-2.0.0/lib/sass/plugin.rb: 72:in`open’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/haml-2.0.0/lib/sass/plugin.rb: 72:in `update_stylesheets' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/haml-2.0.0/lib/sass/plugin.rb: 46:in`each’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/haml-2.0.0/lib/sass/plugin.rb: 46:in `update\_stylesheets’ How do I set the correct permissions? ---
