Lots of potential issues:

1. /home/ is not labeled correctly for httpd stuff if selinux is on.

You would need to chcon the /public_html/ dir to label it for httpd

2. if that is a user's home, it likely got created looking like this:

drwx------. 132 jhughes jhughes 12288 Oct 23 06:21 jhughes

you would need to give apache permission for access .. so that would

l>ikely need to become

drwxr-xr-x.

(chmod 755)

also, you would need to make public_html under the home chmod 755 as well.

Johnny,

selinux is disabled. with SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config

It is a users home... I did have permissions set....

Anything else?

I have read the info on apache 2.4...

I added to the bottom of httpd.conf these lines (and restarted httpd)

So now I have access to the index.html page in /var/www/html so that is good. However, I do not have access to the user gifs /home/silentm/public_html/gifs

The user silentm exists. I get a 404 error. 127.0.0.1 - - [23/Oct/2014:08:14:21 -0400] "GET /~silentm/gifs/smlogo.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 222 "-" "curl/7.29.0"

All the files are there - all owned by silentm.

What did I miss to access the gifs?

Thanks
