Hi, Is there any idea why UserDir may not work as instructed in the manual? That is, although there is a UserDir public_html (and it is the only userdir directive) in httpd.conf, when I try to access http://localhost/~soheil/, I get the error Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~soheil/ on this server. The other relevant settings in httpd.conf: ... LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so ... # actual userdir setting is : <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir public_html </IfModule> # directory setting : <Directory /home/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> And some bash checkings: bash> ls -ld /home /home/soheil /home/soheil/public_html drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 23 18:30 /home drwxr-xr-x 52 soheil soheil 4096 Sep 4 16:06 /home/soheil drwxr-xr-x 4 soheil soheil 4096 Sep 4 00:46 /home/soheil/public_html bash> ls -la /home/soheil/public_html drwxr-xr-x 4 soheil soheil 4096 Sep 4 00:46 . drwxr-xr-x 52 soheil soheil 4096 Sep 4 17:20 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 soheil soheil 248 Sep 4 00:46 index.html OS is Fedora Core 4.
