I mentioned to SMD off-list about this because I felt sure it'd turn up
here anyway, but SELinux requires a few booleans to be enabled for this
(and other things such as full function of Drupal or MediaWiki +
plugins). Check the output of "getsebool -a | grep httpd" to get an
ideas of the relevant ones.
A good resource is "man httpd_selinux" and, of course, your favorite
search engine.
Whatever you do, do NOT disable SELinux. It is, in my regally
self-important opinion, critical in this specific case to use every tool
possible to keep Apache contained (despite the robust testing it gets
any dynamic stuff happening on any of your users' pages open you to a
world of hurt without SELinux clamping down).

Hello!
As far as I know, changing *only* ~smd/public_html to 755 should be sufficient.
Changing your home directory to readable/executable by all is not very private
unless you're on a machine that has only one user. :)

Try changing permissions on the smd directory (and smd/public_html if
necessary) with 'chmod 755 smd', provided you're willing to let all users
read the smd directory.

Hi
Thank you for reply,
I changed /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf accordingly but still have permission
problem. Any help ?
drwx--x--x 56 smd smd 4096 Nov 19 12:18 smd
#UserDir disable
UserDir public_html
that means it should look for /home/smd/public_html/index.html
but even then It gave following error
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~smd/ on this server.

Hi,
May be a easy question.
I have web-server and now would like to create users so that they have
personal pages like
http://www.myserver.com/~user
Please suggest ?
Thank you
