Ok, I made a:

apachectl graceful

and then pointed my browser to the user homepage

and the last part of my error log is:

[Fri May 13 21:38:36 2005] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing 

restart

Hello,
I'm trying to allow users to have their own home pages on a server
(Linux Mandrake 9.1 with Apache 2).
So:

1) I made a public_html dir in /home/myuser and I put there a 

index.html

file.

2) I set permission on directories like this:
$myuser chmod 701 /home/myuser

$myuser chmod 755 /home/myuser/public_html

3) In httpd2.conf the following line is uncommeted:
LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so

4) In commonhttpd.conf the directives:
UserDir
and
DyrectoryIndex

are uncommented and set as default.

5) Also the following lines in the same file are uncommented 

and leaved 

as default :

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

and

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride All
    Options MultiViews -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
    <IfModule mod_access.c>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

and

<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
    Options +ExecCGI -Includes -Indexes
    SetHandler cgi-script
    <IfModule mod_access.c>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

5) I looked at the guide of apache site and other tutorials on line.

Actually when i write in the browser:

http://www.mydomain.com/~myuser/

i receive this message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~myuser/ on this server.

I don't know how to do, I'm newbie and self-taught and need 

to be a bit 

tutored.

Please post the relevant portions of your error log.
