Setting up Apache's UserDir

[Sadrok]

So I cannot get the UserDir option to work right. The problem: 403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /~sadrok on this server
sadrok is the username with a directory /home/sadrok (~home).
I've setup Userbin public_html
I've done the <Directory /home/*/public_html> part with Order allow,deny and Allow from All
The files and the public_html dirs are owned by apache.apache and I also tried sadrok.sadrok with various chmod settings. Nothin worked.

Log Dumps (or the latest few lines in them)
Nothing happens in the error_log when I get the permission error

Did you load the UserDir module? Your httpd.conf should have something like this in it (assuming you only are serving static pages in the UserDir):



<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>



Also, the files and the directory public_html should be owned by username:user_group and chmod'ed 755 ( (d|-)rwxr-xr-x ), your $HOME should be chmod'ed 755 as well.

thank stu,

i guess I only had to chmod the $HOME and public_html dirs. it works fine now, even the cgi-bins for the users too!
