Accessing ~user/public_html

Mates, I feel like an idiot not being able to serve pages from apache in Suse 10 from the users public_html directories. Each time I try I get the 403 forbidden access error message. The permissions on the directories and contents are all 755. The actual error in /var/log/apache2/error_log is: [Mon Apr 17 20:55:27 2006] [error] [client 192.168.6.97] (13)Permission denied: access to /~david/test.html denied [Mon Apr 17 20:55:48 2006] [error] [client 192.168.6.97] (13)Permission denied: access to /~david/test.php denied /etc/sysconfig/apache2 includes userdir APACHE_MODULES="access actions alias auth autoindex cgi dir include log_config mime negotiation setenvif status userdir asis imap php4" I added the following line to default-server.conf Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf The mod_userdir.conf file is present and contains: nemesis:/etc/apache2 # cat mod_userdir.conf | grep -v '#' <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir disabled root AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes 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> </IfModule> I have also tried configuring a vhost, but it still doesn't work? I have googled this and have not found a clear answer, but it does appear that some people have got it working. What am I missing? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
