Does apache have execute permission on your home directory? By default, Redhat sets home directory permissions as 700 (drwx------) which would deny apache any access to "/home/hodgson/www". In that case ypu'd get an access-denied error when trying to browse there in your web browser. If that's the case, then "chmod +x $HOME" will fix that.
Also, it's common these days to use a single httpd.conf file for apache's config, and to ignore the access.conf and srm.conf files. Check the AccessConfig and ResourceConfig directives in httpd.conf to verify whether your sysytem is using them. Jack Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Here's basically what did.
