I have found that you also have to make the /home/username director world
readable and world executable.
In my specific case i have /home/fireman with drwxr-xr-x and then i have
/home/fireman/public_html with drwxr-xr-x.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [newbie] Can't access /~username
This is driving me nuts...
bunyip.apna.org.au is accessable just fine, but attempts to go to
bunyip.apana.org.au/~username fail:
----------------------------Error 403
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~rosco/index.html on this server.
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.19 Server at bunyip.apana.org.au Port 80
----------------------------
Directory/filename permissions are correct:
---------------

-----------

Never let someone who says it cannot be done interrupt the person who is
doing it.
