I think the post you inclued below is still hitting the head on the nail, but first, let's check out a few things.
===================================== [root@r2d2 /root]# /etc/init.d/httpd status Apache is running. httpd: 27520 27519 1308 19629 19628 19627 19310 19309 19308 19307 1074 Apache-mod_perl is running. httpd-perl: 1064 1063 1062 1061 1060 Use /etc/init.d/httpd extendedstatus for more information. ===================================== If you see that, it's running, that's not the issue. IF you don't get something like that, then start it. Change the status above to start, and it should do the trick. At which, do check the permisions, but it's not just the permissions of ~/public_html it's also the permissions of $HOME, and everything in the directory. Directories need to be 0755, including your $HOME. Any file in public_html need to be 0644. chmod 0755 $HOME $HOME/public_html chmod 0644 HOME/public_html/* Make sure when you create other folders inside your ~/public_html, that you set the permissions to 0755 and 0644. Give that a try and then let us know if that did it. But from what you've said, I'm pretty sure that will fix your problem. ** Side note ** You may need to restart NUTSCRAPE. It's real good for caching information, even when you told it to refresh. At times you may even need to remove the cache entirely. a rm ~/.netscape/cache/* -Rf will do the trick for ya. If you're using something different like Opera, you should be good go! tdh - -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.
