apache newbie

[dvdnut]

just installed mandrake 8.0 with apache.

it states in the conf for it that directories which are looked at include the public_html that is held in each account and to view that url to type in
http://www.domain.com/~name/

but when i do this, it states permission denied.

have tried numerous permissions on the public dir and on subsequent html files but still get permission denied!!

i have looked through the commonhttpd.conf and httpd.conf to no avail. i must be missing something.

can anyone help me?

thanks

Hi!

I have not tried Mandrake before so I am not so familiar with it. Maybe you would like to check that the user directory (not just public_html) is accessible by the web server. The user directory is usually created with default permissions of 700 (rwx------).

Hope this helps! ;)
