Hi,

As to my last message 
Someone suggested to me that..

That was the problem. I set my own home dir to be o+x and it works - I
can now load the page. But I don't reallly like having this on
Its now:
        drwx-----x  52 mikel    mikel        3072 May  4 15:26 mikel
It would prob be better if I just had g+x set rather than o+x but even
that is less secure than what I had. Perhaps I should create a special
user in which that login was open and the only files in that users
directory was public_html with the required files?

What's a secure alternative that most people use?

Mike
