Hi i was just wondering what to change in the /etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf to be able to view files and directories in the public_html directory (in users homedir)
if i try localhost/~username and there is no index.html i get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~username/ on this server.
but if i put in a index.html it shows it just fine...
have changed some stuff in the commonapache.conf without any luck... (everything is now set back to default)
would really love to get it to work...
thanx for a great distro |

i am guessing, but try giving everyon read access to the public_html directory. now it is probably set to x only.

In order to have directory listing, you must enable mod_autoindex in
apache.conf. Then, for user directory, you have to tell apache to index it.
Check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_autoindex.html for
more informations on the syntax.
Sorry, I can't help you more, I've never tried it (never needed it either  )

Got it to work...
| Code: | <Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride All
## Options MultiViews -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
Options MultiViews Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
|
removed the "-" before Indexes and it works just fine
thanx |

Added this to my conf to make my individual virtualhosts work.
| Code: | <Directory /home/*/www*>
AllowOverride All
Options MultiViews Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
It limits my flexibility a little but its worth it.
Thanks guys. |

If you don't trust your users, be careful here. AllowOverride all in user directories means among other things that users can turn ExecCGI on in an .htaccess file and drop potentially dangerous and insecure CGI scripts in there.
