apache and users - leander - 2005-05-06
Hello, I have just started over with linux its about a year since last time and i am a bit rusty :/
I have instaled Fedora core 3 and its working fine.
Here is my problem (yeah i know its verry basic)
1) i add a user : account
2) i create the html folder: public_html in /home/account/
3) give it the right premisons acording to apace guidelines
4) i try to access http:/localhost/account/ with my browser
then i get good old 404 The requested URL /account/ was not found on this server.
i think my memory is playing with me.. should / must i enabel userdir to get this to work ?
yes i know i am a noob..hehe :)

also, check and make sure that your home directory's permissions are correct also.
The web directory should be set
drwxr-xr-x html_directory
and your home directory should be set
drwxr-xr-x /home/username
or at a minimum,
drwxr-x--x /home/username
The "x" or execute bit in a directory's permissions allows visibility into the directory. without it, you will not be able to enter the directory.
