Hello,
I have a webserver up and running on my Linux box (Mandrake 7.1). My domain name is www.digitalpalace.net I am trying to give my user his own webspace like www.digitalpalace.net/~user . I have copied the httpd folder in the home directory into the users directory. I have also tried creating a folder called public_html and putting the index.html file inside that. When I did these things I get an 'access forbiden' error when I point my browser to the website. I have also changed the permissions on both the public_html folder and the index.html file. The only thing I can think of is there is a configuration in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Below is a clipping of my httpd.conf file. It looks good to me.
# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is recieved.
UserDir public_html
With that setting,
http://www.digitalpalace.net/~user/index.html should point to
/home/user/public_html/index.html. You have to make sure that
not only is index.html world-readable, but also the public_html
directory and the user directory.
