Hi, I'm currently setting up a local LAMP server to test various apps. Starting from the out-of-the-box configuration of Apache, I test it, and it's OK: http://localhost shows Apache's default page OK in Firefox. Now I edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and replace 'UserDir disabled' by 'UserDir public_html'. I restart Apache. Then, as a normal user (kikinovak): $ cd $ mkdir public_html I edit a basic index.html file, then put it into this directory. I open Firefox at http://localhost/~kikinovak/ ... and I get the following error message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~kikinovak/ on this server. Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at localhost Port 80 Q: what did I do wrong? (I've done this successfully on Slackware and Debian before) Any suggestions? Niki
