Have you sent up a directory container in your httpd.conf file to give apache access to the said directory? like: <Directory path/to/your/dir> Options None Options Indexes Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost Allow from </Directory> Also, if you want to allow access to the directories in /home/user/public_html, you will need to enable load and enable mod_userdir, as these directories are usually outside of the normal document root path. see Apache Module mod_userdir for details.
