Hi I am setting up apache 1.3.19 on our Suse 7.1 server & I am have a problem with mapping ~user to public_html. After creating the public_html directory in the user directory & placing an index page in it. I then try typing in the url http://my.server/~user I get a 403 error, "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~user on this server". I have a had a lot of experience with IIS but this is the first time I have started to work with Apache. So I know this is something stupid, I just can't put my finger on it.

Hi Ralf I have this entry in my httpd.conf # UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home # directory if a ~user request is received. # <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir public_html </IfModule> I know that Apache has the mod_userdir.c loaded. At one stage as a test, I did change the permissions of the directory to allow everyone to have full access, but this did not make any difference. (dont panic, the server is not online yet). Also the error log shows nothing but the access logs shows this 192.168.1.1 - - [04/Dec/2001:09:33:12 +1100] "GET /~jasmine HTTP/1.1" 403 218 On Tue, 4 Dec 2001 10:09, you wrote:

for the user directories in your httpd.conf? -What tells your error_log of this site when you try to access? If you check these you will find the prob in most cases.
Hope that helps,

Indexing an Directory is disabled by default, so you can access an empty directory.
- try to access existing files in there.
- or enable Indexing:
At one stage as a test, I did change the permissions of the directory to allow everyone to have full access, but this did not make any difference. If you are not sure about permissions, try "su - wwwrun" as root and cd /home cd user cd public_html if this fails at some stage, the directory permissions are not right. -rwx-----x is enough for apache to work!

I made a test here, I am not using the /~user/ type of access, so I did not realise I had the same problem.
cd /home cd user cd public_html if this fails at some stage, the directory permissions are not right. -rwx-----x is enough for apache to work!
Just to complete the answer of Marcus. The above access rights must apply both to the /home directory and to the /home/jasmine/ directory, not only to the /./public_html/ directory.

Thank you for this little piece of advice, it worked wonders. My problems are now solved. Thanks again Jasmine On Tue, 4 Dec 2001 18:01, you wrote:

hi jasmin Ik had the same problems, you need to change the permission settings for the user directory. chmod -R 755 [userdir] should get u the needed persmissions, but i'm not sure if thats actually safe to do..... Goodluck, Shane

There is another pitfall (unlikely, but it comes to my mind). If you request the URL http://my.server/~user instead of http://my.server/~user/ (note the missing trailing slash!) your apache will send a so-called redirection to the same URL _with_ trailing slash. For this to function, you need the ServerName directive to be configured correctly (i.e. to your hostname). On a fresh installation of apache the ServerName directive might contain something like linux.local, which would result in a redirect to the host linux.local, which you won't be able to reach, of course. On a SuSE system, you would probably have run SuSEconfig which modifies the ServerName entry in http.conf according to the fully qualified hostname (which is derived from the FQHOSTNAME variable in /etc/rc.config). But on a host which is a dhcp client, FQHOSTNAME is possibly not set, so this mechanism can't not work! Ergo, also try it with a trailing slash, which is all I wanted to say ;) Peter -- VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...

Do you have an index.html file world-readable there? oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
