I was running out of space on my hard drive so I installed a new one. So now I have /home/ on hard drive one and /home2/ being the root of hard drive two.

I want to move the user accounts over to the new drive and make it so that when users are creating user web pages ie /~username that all the content is on the new drive.

Here is the problem. When I switch the users home directory over to /home2/username I am getting forbidden 403 errors.

The file permissions are identical as far as I can tell. I checked by doing an ls -al and comparing the listings. I also matched up the chcon settings as well. When I have the ~username/ going to the exact same setup on /home/username/ it works but when it is /home2/username it doesn't.

I am out of ideas. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks guys

cat /etc/passwd

is there a correct path for the user u added ?

yeah it looks good.

Another wierd thing came up though. When I changed the document root for the server to point to a place on the new hard drive(/home2/) the user dir on the new drive were accessable and the the ones on the old one were forbidden. I only changed the apache config file and restarted the server. I am using that work around for now, but the problem is still a puzzle to me.

can you post your httpd.conf for below following

1) virtualhost container for home - 1 user
2) virtualhost container for home2 - 1 user

and both line for that 2 user in /etc/passwd
