You can determine which case applies to your situation by checking the error log. In the case where file system permission are at fault, remember that not only must the directory and files in question be readable, but also all parent directories must be at least searchable by the web server in order for the content to be accessible. --- Why do I get a Forbidden/You don't have permission to access / on this server message whenever I try to access my server? Search your conf/httpd.conf file for this exact string: Files ~. If you find it, that's your problem -- that particular Files container is malformed. Delete it or replace it with Files ~ ^\.ht and restart your server and things should work as expected. This error appears to be caused by a problem with the version of linuxconf distributed with Redhat 6.x. It may reappear if you use linuxconf again.

[newbie] Apache/public_html
Hi, all -- I am the one who needed to allow users to ftp various web documents to their home directories and then have them visible on the web. Several of you answered me that one should put these web documents into the public_html directory and to be sure that the UserDir public_html statement existed in the httpd.conf file. Well, I did this. Users have public_html directories on their home directories, and these directories have html stuff in them. But when I try to go to the directory, I get the "Forbidden" message. Clearly the directory exists, and there is html there. But I can't see it. I suspect that there is some configuration step that needs to be done in order to tell the browser that the "public_html" directory is, in fact, public. Can anybody advise me what it is? Thanks.
