But if I want to access a particular user's html file which is, for example, given as below: /home/demo/web/demo.html then how to do it? I enabled user_dir in the httpd.conf and set the permisisons on the user's home directory and the web folder as stated therein. By the error messgae is: 403 forbidden: You are not authorised to access it... something like that. Can you help me with it? I have alink in the index.html file as given below: <a href="~demo/web/demo.html"> Demo's Page </a> and am not able to browse it.
