Larry Well after looking in public_html I did not find a index.html so I put one in and I'm still getting the 403 error.
The httpd.conf looks the same as yours. The /var/log/apache/acces.logs show this. 127.0.0.1 - - [15/Feb/2003:12:55:41 -0600] "GET /~timothy/index.html HTTP/1.1" 403 297 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1" 127.0.0.1 - - [15/Feb/2003:12:57:22 -0600] "GET /~timothy/index.html HTTP/1.1" 403 297 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1" 127.0.0.1 - - [15/Feb/2003:12:57:38 -0600] "GET /~timothy/ HTTP/1.1" 403 287 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1" On defalult when you adduser it doesn't give them a public_html directory you have to add this. So I should have that directory as read only on group & others. I don't think I need my home directory as read only by group & others do I? That would mean anyone could read my directorys from the web. I know I should be able to try http://localhost/~timothy/index.html or http://localhost/~timothy and get the page up. In /etc/apache/httpd.conf I found this but I don't think it has anything to do with the problem I'm having. I thought it might because of the localhost. # Allow access to local system documentation from localhost. # (Debian Policy assumes /usr/share/doc is "/doc/", at least from the localhost.)
