May or may not be ownership.  The above can't hurt, however if it's 
purely a permission problem then you probably want to do
chmod 644 <path-to-file/file.ext>
depending on your preferences.  The above will give read/write 
permission to the owner, read permission to anyone in your group, and 
read permission to the world (world being anyone on the same machine as 
you).  Pretty standard permissions but you may want to deny all 
permission to group and world in which case you'd use 600 instead of 
644.  I have no idea what the application requires in terms of 
permissions, this is just a standard unix/Linux command.
