 What are the permissions of the /home directory. 

Check if it is a SELinux problem.
system-config-securitylevel
disable the SELinux, and see it it then works.
If yes, it is a SELinux problem. 
Re-enable it, and check the httpd settings, one regards to access of 
user home directories. 

I seem to recall that the change didn't work after I did it, but then 
after a reboot it did.
