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.
