It's probably still permissions. Try: ls -ld / /alanh /alanh/public_html /alanh/public_html/index.html All the dir's need read and exec permissions for 'other' (the last bit) the file needs read permission for other Have a look in the error log - check httpd.conf for it's location - to see what it's complaining about.

Hi all,
Can anyone offer some hints as to how to make public_html folders available for access by apache?
I'm trying to set up a server in which users can create html files within a folder (eg: /alanh/public_html) which can be made available on the school intranet.
I've checked the folder permissions and they seen ok, httpd.conf seems ok but I get the following errors when trying to access the test html file via lynx :-
lynx 192.168.1.10/~alanh
!Alert: http/1.1 403 Forbidden!
I'd like to get this working - any hints / help / etc?
I've tried this under Suse 7 and Red Hat 6.1 with the same result so it seems like i'm making a fundamental and possibly obvious error here....
