UserDir question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I realize this may be a newbie question answered many times, but I hope
it is simple and someone can give me a quick answer.

We are running Apache 2.0 at our office on a Linux 2.6 system.  I tried
to enable UserDir by modifying the httpd.conf file.  I followed the
instructions found in the file by changing the UserDir entry to
"public_html" in the IfModule mod_userdir.c section.  Then I uncommented
the example Directory section just below it (which enables
/home/*/public_html access).

We haven't yet set up a "default" web page for the server under
/var/www/html, but I don't see why that should be a problem (I could be
wrong).

After shutting down Apache and restarting it, we still get a:

-----------
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~jmclaughlin on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at swmpu Port 80
------------

I have verified that the apache user can read all the files in
~jmclaughlin/public_html, so that isn't a problem.  What other reason
could there be?
