Hello, On our server we do not use userdirs, so requests to http://<ourserver>/~<user>/<somefile> should always result in an error. Right now they do. The problem is that the server returns a "404 Not Found" error when <user> does not exist on our server, but a "403 Forbidden" <user> does exist. In the one case we get error messages like: File does not exist: /opt/portal/mp/www/~<user> and in the other case client denied by server configuration: /home/<user> the odd thing is that the server does this, even though we do not load mod_userdir, and have not configured a UserDir. What have I overlooked? How can I make sure that all requests to userdirs result in a 404 Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx Solothurn, Switzerland --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
