I went back before this email and realized it wasn't the same. I changed it so httpd.conf looks like: # 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 <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> NameVirtualHost 128.226.6.37 <VirtualHost 128.226.6.37> ServerName bingiwas.binghamton.edu DocumentRoot /u0/users #DocumentRoot /var/www/bingiwas CustomLog /var/log/access_log common <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> </VirtualHost> Should I still be using apache2.conf when I uswe httpd.conf? Another admin and I were talking, we think another problem is that we are not using NIS on this box. It appears that NIS just flat won't work on an Debian ETCH box.
