[newbie] Can not get users web site to come up with Apache and LM 8.1

2001-11-29 Thread Aaron Winters



Hey yall, I have a clean install of LM 8.1 and I 
can not get my users web sites to come up. When you type the URL http://domainname.edu/~user I get an 
error telling me I do not have permission to access it. I have done this before 
and the only thing I can think of is that this time during the install I chose 
medium instead of low on the security setting because this box is on the net all 
the time with a static IP running Apache, ProFTPd and SSH. The domain web site 
comes up fine it is just the users sites that are a problem. I have looked in 
the httpd config files and it has entries that look to me like it should work 
but what I know about configuring Apache is just enough to mess something up. 
Can any of you give me a hand?

Well, in testing after I found it was not working with my personal login I
logged in with my test account created the public_html directory, started
Netscape Composer typed this is a test and saved it as index.html in my
public_html directory I just made. That has always been fine in the past.
Does setting the security level to medium change the default permissions to
where that will not work?

 I think your problem may simply be permissions on the files and
 directories where the pages are stored.
