[Gllug] Apache ~users

[Blackburn, David W]

Have you got this module loaded ?
 
mod_userdir.c
 
If using DSO you will need to add it to the list of modules, or check `http
-l` if they are compiled into the binary.
 
Regards Dave

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/ <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
