I'm editing "httpd.conf", and restarting after every change. Also, there is no other <Directory ... block in the httpd.conf file ! And, as I've stated before, I DO have an index.html file in the public_html directory, and it has the recommended permissions. ??????? I'm very perplexed ! -----Original Message----- From: Davide Bianchi [mailto:davide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 7:04 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] access to user directories > I also do have the <Directory ... block that you suggested, as >follows: ><Directory /home/*/public_html> > AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit > Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec This doesn't seems correct. You have the "Indexes" option but you are getting "You don't have permission to access /~user/ ..." (if IIRC what you said). Now, that message is sent _only_ if you don't have an 'index.html' or 'default.html' file _AND_ the listing of the directory is prohibited, but the "Indexes" option should show you the list of files anyway. So there are various options here: you are editing the wrong configuration file _or_ there is another <Directory > block that override the configuration.
