I went back to the default user_dir setup of: <Directory "/home/*/public_html"> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec Require method GET POST OPTIONS </Directory> Restarted httpd and tried again. I get my ~/public_html/index.html to display, cannot get a directory list to display. I can display a file. If I list a specific jpg in one of the directories it comes up ok, but I am not getting the listing option. access_log: 192.168.160.12 - - [27/Dec/2016:16:53:00 -0500] "GET /~rgm/cubieboard/cubietower-2.JPG HTTP/1.1" 200 1450256 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0" 192.168.160.12 - - [27/Dec/2016:16:53:08 -0500] "GET /~rgm/cubieboard/ HTTP/1.1" 403 218 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0" error_log: [Tue Dec 27 16:53:08.858042 2016] [negotiation:error] [pid 1965] (13)Permission denied: [client 192.168.160.12:55644] AH00686: cannot read directory for multi: /home/rgm/public_html/cubieboard/ So I have the permissions right to retrieve files. Something is wrong for displaying the directory list. :(
