cannot get user directories to work (e.g. /~user)

[Chris W. Parker]

Hello,

Apache is working as expected for http://localhost/ and two virtual
directories (these will later be where my two websites are served from).
What I can't get working is my user directory, e.g.
http://localhost/~cparker/

Here is the error:

===
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~cparker/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) Server at server.swatgear.com Port 80

At first I was running with SELinux and found some info that said I
needed to adjust the permissions, but after following what a Redhat
document said it still didn't work. So I turned SELinux off and rebooted
and it still didn't work.

Here is some configuration info:

httpd.conf:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir www
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/www>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options
    Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

Where have I gone wrong? Where should I look next?



Thanks,
Chris.
