apache2 403 error on ~userdir

[ajayd]

Hi,

I am running FC4 (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp) with apache2 and am unable to serve any pages from user's home directories. I have checked the following

+ made sure that the file and path to public_html/index.html is readable and executable by all
+ checked the SELinux option that allows HTTPD to serve users' home directories

Following is the error message

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~maxtux on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Here are the relevant parts of the httpd.conf file, any help much appreciated,
-thanks

I managed to do a work around - uncheck the enforcing current under SELinux settings. Looks like a bad idea though but gets it working =)

try something like

restorecon -R ~maxtux/public_html

Hi,
my DocumentRoot is "/web/myname/www"
it has subdirectories and one of them is "website" with many subdirectory such as "cat"
I want to use UserDir for cat to be accessed by **************

on httpd.conf file,
UserDir /web/myname/www/website/*

when ever I try to access it using a browser, it gives me and 403 Forbidden message

Can any one help me to avoid 403 message

I hope that ~cat is a real userid and located at /home/cat.

How do you have this section filled out?
Did you read:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden

#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
# The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be
# accessible to the webserver userid.  This usually means that ~userid
# must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions
# of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.
# Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message.
#
# See also: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden
#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    #
    # UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the presence
    # of a username on the system (depending on home directory
    # permissions).
    #
    UserDir disable

    #
    # To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html
    # directory, remove the "UserDir disable" line above, and uncomment
    # the following line instead:
    #
    #UserDir public_html

</IfModule>

#
# Control access to UserDir directories.  The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
#    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
#    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
#        Order allow,deny
#        Allow from all
#    </Limit>
#    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
#        Order deny,allow
#        Deny from all
#    </LimitExcept>
#</Directory>
