Webmin httpd.conf get 403 error

I used Webmin to created a virtual user to run a blog engine "Serendipity"
The engine is saved in a directory named "earthly"

I'm testing this setup via VNC.
I run up the web browser...the one I used to created the virtual user

I'm getting a 403 error (no permission ) issued by the Apache II server?

Here's my directory and file settings based on the install instructions for Serendipity.

What's causing the 403 error?

What are the permissions of the earthly directory. You posted the contents of the directory and not those of the directory itself.

I'm looking over Serendipity docs and found this:

http://s9y.org/36.html#A5... down the page..

Quote:

For full operation, Serendipity relies on .htaccess files that your Virtual Host? must allow. For Apache, this requires the "Allow Override? File Info? Indexes Limit" (or "Allow Override? All") option set to the directory of your Serendipity installation.

is this referring to the directives in the httpd.conf file?

Sorry -- is this solved? I tried to get s9y on my archlinux installed and i get a 500 Internal server error, when i try to access http://127.0.0.1/serenpidity.

However, when i put a php test file, something like:

Code:

<html> ...
<body><?php
   phpinfo();
?>
</body></html>

It shows the php info page with lots of information.

Basically i forgot to include the session extension:
/etc/php/php.ini:
extension=session.so

Restarted httpd and now it works.
