homepage

zpyoung · 05-19-2001, 01:08 PM

I have setup a account and trying to run a homepage from that user account. I have setup the account in /home/zach/ and made a directory call public_html in zach. I have used the chmod 755 on the directory and 644 on the index.html file in the public_html directory. But I still can not see the page I have setup. I use http://192.168.1.1/~zach but get You are not authorized to view this page. Do i need to change the configuration file. I have upgrade from 6.2 to 7.0 and not changed anything

What http server your running? Apache? Can you get to other areas of the server? Say just / ? What permissions do you have /home/zach? Trying setting it to 711. If you are using Apache then check your httpd.conf for the following lines:

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

this defines public_html as the directory to look in when you access a ~username URL. You might also wanna try accessing http://localhost/... but I don't believe this will make a difference.

Cheers!

I have full access. I have a linux box that I'm setting up for my web page. The book I have says that I have Apache Server 1.3.12. And in my httpd.conf file I have

# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
UserDir public_html

I take it the file permissions were OK? I take it by full access you mean you can get to other bits of the server?

I have access to root and to other part of apache files. Do you think I need to change something config file?
