[rhn-users] 403 forbidden - you don't have permission to access /home/*/public_html on this server

[Philippe B. Laval]

Paul,

 

            I had this problem once, I thought all the files permission were
set right.  It turned out the files permission for the user directory were
not.  The executable bit needs to be set also.  To access
/home/myUser/public_html, the executable bit needs to be set doe myUser.

 

I hope this helps.

Subject: [rhn-users] 403 forbidden - you don't have permission to access

I just installed Red Hat V4.0AS on my web server this week with apache
v2.0.52

All my file permissions to and including the directory public_html are 755
including file index.html.

My userdir is pointed to /home/*/public.html

apachectl configtest shows no errors

Error message is still : 

403 forbidden - you don't have permission to access /home/*/public_html on
this server

Any ideas or suggestion ?

 

Thank You,
