hi...I am running rhel5.4.
I have enable UserDir in apache and get the forbidden error while trying to access http://localhost/~lanor
I have set set permission for user Lanor 711 for home dir "lanor" and 755 for "public_html"
Is it that I have to set the above permission for the user apache?.
Even if I set permission 777 for both the directories, I still get the forbidden error message.
Help Please!!
can you post the virtual host from your conf file?
I have tried the same in Redhat 9 in a virtual environment @ my university lab and it works fine, I am able to access it from actual hosts as well....
I am just trying it out on my laptop with rhel5.4
httpd.conf(virtual host section)
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>
ServerName ghost
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml
</VirtualHost>
doc root missing?
public_html exists in home directory...I just don't get why permission is denied.
Like I said...Works for Redhat 9 but does not for rhel5.4..
Anyway..I give up...am thinking of doing a fresh installation....
Thanx guys for your replies....
Thanks alot...you solved my problem.
I searched days for answers and u just solved it.
thanks
You have to add the Directive DocumentRoot inside your virtual host tag along with other directives
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot /home/<path-to-public_html>/public_html
</VirtualHost>
then # /etc/init.d/httpd restart
