I am running Fedora Core 4, httpd-2.0.54. When I try to access http://localhost/~userid/index.html I get Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~userid on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. the permissions for /home/userid and /home/userid/public_html are drwxr-xr-x, the permission for /home/userid/public_html/index.html is -rw-rw-r-- ... I changed the mod_userdir.c section in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to : <IfModule mod_userdir.c> # # UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the presence # of a username on the system (depending on home directory # permissions). # #UserDir disable # # To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html # directory, remove the "UserDir disable" line above, and uncomment # the following line instead: # UserDir public_html </IfModule> and then I use the next section which was originally commented out. # # Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example # for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only. # <Directory /home/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec <Limit GET POST OPTIONS> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS> Order deny,allow Deny from all </LimitExcept> </Directory> all other parts of httpd.conf were left as is... That's about all I know about httpd and it doesn't work.. How do I get access to view the html pages in /home/userid/public_html ??? In the error logs it reports: [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /~userid denied it also seems to be looking for a favicon.ico File does not exist: [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/favicon.ico Any help would be greatly appreciated.
