http issues

I am having some baffling issue viewing a directory , I am pretty sure its a easy fix but I dont know what else to do after 2 days.

I have a linux box and created a folder in the webroot direct and the virtual directory in httpd.conf, however when I visit the directory from browser, 200.0.0.0/~test/index.html it shows sometimes and when I refresh it shows page error, I see no error in error logs, I am sure its a permissions issue but directory is 777 and owner is correct.

Please help

Hi,

What you mean by virtual directory?
Also posting httpd.conf could be helpful to diagnose what is the problem

Sorry I meant virutal host

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www2.domain.net
ServerAlias www2.domain.net
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerAdmin su@domain.net
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_UserGroup nobody nobody
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Hi,

So you mean that you have created /var/www/~test?
Using a tilde in front of a directory name, like ~test, means that apache will try to serve a page from the public_html directory of the user test, using mod_userdir.
Why don't you name the directory just plain test, so you can access it using http://200.0.0.0/test/index.html
