LAMP Apache 2.0.52 php 4.3.9 MyQSL 2.5.1 problem RHEL 4

Hi,

trying to set up a LAMB in my RHEL 4 box but it doesn't work.
Apache and MySQL seem to work properly but when I try to test any
php page on (/home/user/public_html) I get the following error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~user/hello.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at localhost Port 80

thanks in advance.

Remember that the webserver accesses files under its own user permissions, which is usually something like apache or apache2. Make sure this user has read access to /~user/hello.php.

PHP5 has been out for long enough to be pretty stable. Upgrading would give you additional capabilities, and make it easier to get php specific help. It's easier to upgrade before you start writing stuff than after you have 200 php pages to convert.

Thanks Dick,

I have used chmod for permissions

$ chmod 711 /home/user
$ chmod 755 /home/user/public_html

and what I get now is:

Not Found

The requested URL /user/ was not found on this server.
