SO ........................... It looks like it is not 'seeing' the nfs mount point and following it. What follows is specific to my set up: If I load http://bingiwas.binghamton.edu/~chouck into a browser I get an error in my /var/apache2/error.log: [Thu Jul 27 08:54:05 2006] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /var/www/bingiwas/~chouck /var/www/bingiwas is the DocumentRoot for the bingiwas.binghamton.edu virtual host I am using. # contents of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf # This is here for backwards compatability reasons and to support # installing 3rd party modules directly via apxs2, rather than # through the /etc/apache2/mods-{available,enabled} mechanism. # # using bingiwas from bingnfs1 httpd.conf as an example NameVirtualHost 128.226.6.37 <VirtualHost 128.226.6.37> ServerName bingiwas.binghamton.edu DocumentRoot /var/www/bingiwas CustomLog /var/log/access_log common </VirtualHost> <Directory /u0/users/*/*/public_html> Order deny,allow Allow from all AllowOverride Limit AuthConfig Options +IncludesNOEXEC -FollowSymLinks -ExecCGI +Indexes </Directory> <Directory /u0/users/*/*/public_html/cgi-bin> Options execCGI SetHandler cgi-script </Directory> What I want it to do is follow the NFS mount point /u0/users and 'replace' the ~chouck with /u0/users/A/chouck/public_html I repeat myself here. cat userdir.conf <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir public_html UserDir disabled root <Directory /u0/users/*/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec </Directory> </IfModule> and in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled I have userdir.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load What am I doing wrong here?
