Body: <p>I'm on Craft 2.7.8 and cannot access some of my assets - getting 
  <code>Unable to open image ../html/assets/xxx.jpg</code> error all the time. </p>
  
  <p>I've checked the owner, group and permissions dozen of times, currently everything set to root and 777. </p>
  
  <p>I can access the images when I go directly to that URL in a browser, but for some reasons I cannot access them in a template.</p>
  
  <p>In the Craft Admin Panel I changed the Source type to Amazon S3 bucket but that didn't work too. I can see the access/secret keys are correct (can display available buckets) but getting the same error "403 - unable to open".</p>
  
  <p>Double checked with Postman and confirmed the images are there - looks like it's a Craft's or the Imager plugin issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas, please?
  I'm using <code>html</code> as the root of my website (instead of <code>public</code>) and running on Apache. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

  I'm on Craft 2.7.8 and cannot access some of my assets - getting
  `Unable to open image ../html/assets/xxx.jpg` error all the time.
  
  I've checked the owner, group and permissions dozen of times, currently everything set to root and 777.
  
  I can access the images when I go directly to that URL in a browser, but for some reasons I cannot access them in a template.
  
  In the Craft Admin Panel I changed the Source type to Amazon S3 bucket but that didn't work too. I can see the access/secret keys are correct (can display available buckets) but getting the same error "403 - unable to open".
  
  Double checked with Postman and confirmed the images are there - looks like it's a Craft's or the Imager plugin issue.
  
  Any ideas, please?
  I'm using `html` as the root of my website (instead of `public`) and running on Apache.
  
  Thanks
