[Solved] Apache and Plex can't access files on my second drive anymore

Hi, I'm  having a strange issue accessing files on a second drive through web servers.  I have a main SSD drive, and a second HDD that mounts to ~/Media with `/dev/sdb1  /home/diego/Media  ext4  defaults,noatime,data=writeback,x-gvfs-show 0 0`.  I used to have set up my Apache server (2.4) with some symlinks to files in Media, and was able to access them externally.  I also had set up Plex to read from that drive, and everything worked flawlessly.  Ever since a few days ago I noticed that I couldn't access my files externally anymore, and today I noticed Plex isn't able to access my files either.

I really don't remember having changed anything that would affect this, and the permissions haven't changed since it used to work.  Anybody have any ideas of things to try or how to debug?

Thanks!

I just did chown -R ~ <user>:users and chmod -R 755 ~ and all is well
