Apache, user_dir problems

[rathergoodman]

I seached the forums, and couldnt find an answer, if this has already been asked, please point me where thanks.

Im using Apache 2.0 on a fresh Redhat Fedora Core 1 install, i have enabled mod_userdir and changed the user_dir parameters to :

</IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir enabled
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

and have also tried

</IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir enabled username
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

</IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir enabled
UserDir disabled root
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

just to see if they would work.

As of right now, when ever i connect to http://10.10.12.15 i get the default apache page, but when i try http://10.10.12.15/~username i get both 403, and 404. The file im accessing does exist, and the username does exist.

any ideas one what might be causing this?

</IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir enabled
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

If that was copied straight out of your config file, it may be the line:

</IfModule mod_userdir.c>

Should be: (no extra /)

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>

Ensure that the public_html directory exists in that users home directory, and is readable by the apache user/group.

Also ensure you restart apache after making any configuration changes.
