mod_userdir

afair · 10-23-2002, 11:28 AM

I am running Apache 2.0 on RedHat 7.3 . I know that mod_userdir is dynamically loaded. What needs to be changed and were do I make these changes to get it to work. Is it in the httpd.conf ?

Thanx for the help.

Have you checked out this page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html

Actually I have done both, I allways do my research first and then when I can not get it to work I turn to the more informed to see if there is something I am overlooking.
Thanx

Let be more specific with the error I am getting,
You don't have permission to access /~user on this server.
I have changed permissions to 666 and still nothing.
Any ideas ?
Thanx

You've also setup the public_html for each user ?? There's a link at the bottom of the first link to it. Also usually html files are set with a permission of 755, have you tried that ? Also after making all your changes to the httpd.conf file, have you stopped and restarted it ?

The docs on those pages are pretty straight forward. And yes, the more details you provide, the better the reponses, we don't have ESP here.

Hi trickykid;
Yes I have set up a test account with a public_html directory that has a index.html file. In the httpd.conf the directive UserDir public_html was there. Is there anything else in this file that needs to be modified for user redirection to work.
Thanx

I have posted my httpd.conf file if anyone would like to look and see if it looks correct.
http://68.12.164.131:2020
and here is the message I get when I try the redirect
http://68.12.164.131:2020/~user1

I'm just getting timeout's when trying to access either link you provided.

Sorry trickykid Cox Cable is really screwing with my connection. I will set something else up.
Thanx for the help.
