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

	<Directory /home/*/public_html>

		AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
		Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec +Includes

		<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>

From mod_mime-defaults.conf (enabling SSIs):
===========================
...
#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

From /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
=================
...
# your settings
APACHE_MODULES="access actions alias autoindex cgi dir include log_config mime 
negotiation setenvif status userdir asis imap info php4 perl ruby"


What am I doing wrong here? I think I'm too close and frustrated now, so I 
must be overlooking something!

TIA & regards,
