Thanks for the idea, unfortunately it does not work. I changed the section in my commonapache2.conf:
... snip <Directory /home/*/public_html> AllowOverride All Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec #Options MultiViews -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks <IfModule mod_access.c> Order allow,deny Allow from all </IfModule> </Directory> snip ... Still I don't have the permission... I don't have any experience with the virtual server thing. Will give it a try.
