I tried it out, and agree. It's ok for the home directory to be 711 if the public_html subdirectory is 755.

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.

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
