I create "testing" user for tesing "public_html". Now "testing" user that home directory under "/export3/home3/office3" is working well. More detail below. # grep testing /etc/passwd testing:x:30000:100::/export3/home3/office3/testing:/bin/bash And httpd.conf below. <Directory /export3/home3/office3/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> But if I used "usermod" command to change home directory under "/export3/home3/office3" to under "/office3", it don"t work. Note that "office3" is link file. More detail below. # usermod -d /office3/testing -m testing # grep testing /etc/passwd testing:x:30000:100::/office3/testing:/bin/bash # ls -ld /office3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jul 2 18:48 /office3 -> /export3/home3/office3 And config httpd.conf again below. <Directory /office3/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> But can"t access "public_html".
