What are the permissions of your home directory? This must be at least
o+x (ie anything AND 001, like 701 or 751 or 755). Without this
www-data can't descend into your public_html dir.
chmod o+x ~
I wonder why it says you don't have permission to access
..../newindex.html Does your index.html file reference newindex.html?
Is that a typo? Do you have anything in httpd.conf that references
newindex.html?
Also you need this in your httpd.conf, which should already be there in
debian.
