Hi Everybody,
I'm getting Apache Error 403 'Access Forbidden' when I point my browser to
some pages I'm working on in my ~/public_html/ directory.
"http://localhost/" automagically opens /srv/www/htdocs/index.html.en and, if
I follow the 'documentation' link there, I can access the installed Apache2
documentation.
However, "http://localhost/~carlh/anyname.html" results in Error 403
It seems I must be too close to the problem and frustrated now and am probably
overlooking something simple. Here's my config:
Permissions:
=======
/home/carlh/public_html/ drwxr-xr-x 7 carlh users
/home/carlh/public_html/*.html -rw-r--r-- 1 carlh users
/home/carlh/public_html/images drwxr-xr-x 5 carlh users
From mod_userdir.conf:
=============
...
# not every user's directory should be visible:
#UserDir disabled root
# to enable UserDir only for a certain set of users, use this instead:
UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled carlh
# the UserDir directive is actually used inside the virtual hosts, to
# have more control
UserDir public_html

Hmm, that's obviously ok. Then it must be something with the Apache configuration itself. Do you have some limits or AllowOverride set for a higher level than public_html? (Note that I currently don't know what's the problem here. This is just a wild guess.) Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de

Is this relevant?
from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
=================
# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
# use .htaccess files for overriding,
AccessFileName .htaccess
# and never show them

I don't think so because the settings for public_html (in general: the more specific context settings) have a higher priority. Please have a look in your Apache error_log - if you are lucky, you'll see the reason of the problem there.

Thanks Christian, I guess you sent this off before reading my [SOLVED] post? The entire UserDir section was missing from /etc/apache2/default-server.conf. It's all better now. regards, - Carl

The default Apache2 installation on 10.0 RC1 omitted the section, below, from /etc/apache2/default-server.conf.
