ok problem here ... I can access the root web directory... but I can't access the user home directory /home/user/public_html ... all the permission are at 755 (files and folders) and I have my index.html in the folder

I searched a lot about this problem ... many people have it but no good solution for me yet.

the logs tells me:
[03/Jan/2002:17:49:04 -0500] "GET /~user HTTP/1.0" 403 278

Directory index forbidden by rule ( i was getting that before... now I'm not getting it... I get nothing in the error_log)

The browser gives me a error 403: You don't have permission to access /~user on this server.

These are the rules in my http.conf

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/local/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
Options Indexes MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Damn ... Thanks to the guy who answered through email...

The answer was that the directory /home/user must be 711 ... redhat creates the directory by default as 700

I personally think it's stupid but anyway... my problem is solved

hi
how's about http://host/~user/index.html instead http://host/~user? do you familiar with this problem? any help would be appreciate
