Hi,
I'm trying to enable ~username access to a Redhat 7.2 server running apache 1.3.12
I've been reading the Charles Aulds book (Apache web server admin) and the various on-line docs and I keep hitting a brick wall.
I've left the httpd.conf file set as the default
UserDir public_html
And used the following from my Mandrake based system that does work (and uncommented the example in the conf file)
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride All
Options MultiViews Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
but whenever I try and access http://site/~user/
I get:
You don't have permission to access /~user on this server.
I've set up /home/user/public_html with an index.html in it (even if I specify ~user/index.html I get the same error).
There doesn't appear to be any mentions in the logs that it fails (I've tried setting log level to Debug).
Valid pages in /var/www/html get served and if I use ~invalidname it gives a standard page not found error (and this is in the log).
Any one an Idea what I've forgotten to configure (and how I can get the failure in the log)?
Cheers
Andy
