I agree with anyone else suggesting this reason. There's a FAQ about that on the Fedora website, as already mentioned. > 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 Many browsers request /favicon.ico when loading or bookmarking a page. They're trying to find an icon for your website, to put in the bookmarks or display next to the address, and looking in a common place they all expect to find one. You can: 1. Ignore it (ignore what the log says, or tell the log to ignore such requests). 2. Put an icon where it's looking for one. There's a plethora of FAQs about how to do it right (I never recall the details, I just look for it if I want to do that). Stick a "no MSIE" one in there. ;-) -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
