Hmmm ... I did this and it did not seem to work.
I deleted the user's account and home directory. I then re-added the users
account and home directory (all done by "useradd" and "userdel -d"
commands).
I then did the chown & chmod as described below. After uploading the
content, I get the message via Firefox "Forbidden. You don't have
permission to access / on this server". I checked apache and it says that
the directory doesn't exist. Hmmmm!
Here is the setup:
The directory structure is: /home/username/www
The apache group name is httpgrp
The apache user is httpusr
The site AND directory information is in the vhost statement in the
httpd.conf
Thanks,
Scott

Linux filesystem permissions have three components, user, group, and
other. It should be possible to set the folder/file owner name to be the
user who is wanting to write/read files in the www folder using chown.
Then you can set the group for the folder to the group that the apache
process belongs to using chgrp. Then give the user read/write permissions
and the group read only permissions.
So, if user 'tom' has a www folder and the apache process is run by group
'www' run
$ chown tom:www www
$ chmod 744 www
this will allow the www group read access to the www folder, and will
allow tom read,write and execute permissions

I think I over-did the permissions just a bit.

blocks, you nearly always have to add a <Directory> statement permitting
access to that place.
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>

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 for
each site). Example: The user's site is
> www.example.com: <http://www.example.com> and they have a home directory
called '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.
Thank you.
