According to the documentation for UserDir, it *is* valid: ServerRoot c:/apache UserDir users/*/public_html will map the URL /~test/blah.html to C:\Apache\users\test\public_html\blah.html. And indeed it *does* work, unless the <Directory /> section is included, as is recommended in the FAQ.

Ok, I've tried fiddling around with the entries, and have discovered the following: - The <Directory /> section, when present, seems to 403 my entire site. - If changed to <Directory C:>, everything works again (including the user dir) - If changed to <Directory C:/> or <Directory C:/.> everything stops working again. I definately think that it is a server bug when a single trailing slash stops the entire site from working, especially when it should have been overridden by later entries in any case. ----- Gavin Lambert [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ue.home.ml.org/ (recommended) http://ue2.home.ml.org/ (alternate site, not updated often) Mirabilis ICQ UIN: 2274180 ---- 5 out of 4 people have trouble with fractions.
