Apache Q: http://mybox.mydomain.com/~username/public_html
This *should* be an easy question, but the answer is not jumping out at me.
How do I set up my Apache server so that it shares out the
~username/public_html directories which are indicated in the default
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf as follows:
#
# 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>
#
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
The problem is with permissions of /home/user/public_html. This directory should be readable by the user under which apache runs. By default it's wwwrun on SuSE. Also by default, /home/user has permissions 700, i.e. user wwwrun has no read access to /home/user and the rest stuff below it. The quick way to test it is: su root su wwwrun ls /home/user/public_html I bet you'll get permission denied. To fix the problem you may either allow others access to your home directory (chmod 705 /home/user) or change the group owner for /home/user to nogroup and allow group access to /home/user (chmod 750 /home/user). Both ways are insecure, so choose your poison... -Kastus On Fri, Mar 16, 2001 at 02:28:05PM -0500, Steven T. Hatton wrote:

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> ? I removed the comments form the tagged region in the second block above but I still get a 403. I'm sure I could find *a* way to make this work, but I'm wondering what the intent of the designer was. Does anybody know how this is *supposed* to work?
TIA,

This would map ~user/public_html on your filesystem to ~user in apache. So: /home/jdoe/public_html would map to http://your.domain.com/~jdoe/ and not http://your.domain.com/~jdoe/public_html/ as you have in the subject. Also, check your permissions. Your webserver should have read permission on the above directory. -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/ "Steven T. Hatton" wrote:
