Thanks for the response Steve! A while after I sent this message I ran across a site that told me just that. When it still didn't work, I realized it was also a directory permissions issue. After working with the permissions (linux system) I was able to access the pages. Now I find that the user cannot update or create new pages or directories. I think I over-did the permissions just a bit. Anyone have any suggestions?

For example, I have:<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> On 08/12/06, Scott Hughes <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: <mailto:scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: Hello, I am attempting to set up a vhost machine using CentOS. The issue I am having is with the user's home directories (where the pages are being server foreach site). Example: The user's site is www.example.com: <http://www.example.com> and they have a home directorycalled 'example'. Inside thier home directory is a directory called 'www'. Long story short, I have added the vhost part to the httpd.conf and the directory statement. I get the message in the error log that "Permission is denied for /index.htm". If anyone needs any additional information, please ask.
