Answer 1

Following two commands will ensure your purpose

chmod -R 755 /directory
chown -R owner.group /directory

This will give read permissions to everyone. You may be facing issue due to wrong ownership. If the file is not very sensitive, you can also use:

chown -R nobody.nobody /directory   ( No body means anyone )
