Hello, I have configed the "UserDir" to "public_html" in httpd.conf
and i cannot open the user's webpage.
i tried http://myhostname.com/~user/
and http://myhostname.com/~user/index.html
it printed "Forbidden".
Im also the directory of public_html is in ALL read, and executable permission.

what is the problem?

It needs write permission as well. drwxr-xr-x (755)

Don't mess with the chmod command with you don't know what you're doing.

If you are using the crappy Redhat, check for this line <Files ~> in your httpd.conf and change it to -> <Files ~ "^.ht">.

Just to mention their linuxconf tool and RPM system, they are crappy enough. Redhat is for newbie who just migrated from windows as AOL is the ISP for computer newbies. It's a shame to use those. Well, this is just my personal opinion and you don't have to agree with it.
