(quoted from the user on the FreeBSD list who explained this to me). Also, making sure SymLinksIfOwnerMatch and FollowSymLinks is in your conf files in the appropriate places probably won't hurt. So based on the above I set <Directory "/usr/home/*/public_html"> Back to <Directory "/home/*/public_html"> My confusion in solving this problem was with regard to where Apache first looks for the directory path. Had I known the above I would have never set it to /usr/home/*/public_html Thank you all for your help. It was much appreciated. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
