One problem to check with your home directory is to make sure you have that squiggly mark in front of the home users name: /home/~neil/webpages/index.html

Anything I put in there works and gets served no problem. However, I want to change the folder to /home/neil/webpages/html. The folder exists and has the relevant index.html file in it etc. So, I've used netconf to set apache to look in that folder and all I get is:- Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.20 Server at nrpmedia.com Port 80 When I try to access the page. What is the problem? I have set the permissions to be everything! (i.e. read write and execute for all - what are the special things? I have left those unchecked anyways?), and the owner is 'neil' and goupr 'neil'. I wonder if I need to put apache in group neil? However, I also tried putting apache as the owner and that didn't work either... hmmm Please help Neil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
