I know that this issue comes up time and time again however I have tried everything I can think of and followed every guide to no avail.
I have enabled apache userdir's like so:
(/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
Code:
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>
#
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
#<Directory "/home/sharedusers/*/public_html">
# order allow,deny
# allow from all
#</Directory>
<Directory /home/sharedusers/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
This is my directory structure:
Code:
[root@donkey ~]# ls -ltr /home/sharedusers/home/sh_test/ -R
/home/sharedusers/home/sh_test/:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 4 sh_test apache 4096 May 3 15:25 Maildir

Oups, I've now noticed that you use a different homedir tree (/home/sharedusers/home/sh_test instead of /home/sh_test)
For this to work you need to use DirectoryMatch
Code:
<DirectoryMatch /home(.*)/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</DirectoryMatch>
or use explicitly <Directory /home/sharedusers/home/*/public_html>
Oh dear, still no joy im afraid! I just dont understand it! I have tried:
Code:
<Directory /home/sharedusers/home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
and
Code:
<DirectoryMatch /home(.*)/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</DirectoryMatch>
Log:
Code:

You don't have permission to access /~sh_test/ on this server.

OK, start from / and list the permissions of all folders:
Code:
ls -ld /
ls -ld /home
ls -ld /home/sharedusers
ls -ld /home/sharedusers/home
ls -ld /home/sharedusers/home/sh_test
ls -ld /home/sharedusers/home/sh_test/public_html
All directories must be 755 and the files inside public_html 644 (at least)
