Re: [users@httpd] newbie question
What do you have the permissions set to for the /work directory?? That would
be something you can check.

That most likely was the problem. You also are most likely going to need to
set an alias that points /work over to /home/userdir/work... Or, better
yet, move /home/userdir/work over to /var/www/html/work. Simplify your
life... ;-)

You still need to give permissions to the directory before it can be accessed.

The root for default domains is on /var/www/html/
But the folder is /home/userdir/work
I'll look into httpd.conf for allowing.
Thnks.

You might also be running into the same thing that I ran into. If /work in
the root directory of the server? Or is it elsewhere? For example, I put
other sites under /home/domain on the server, while the root for the default
domain is /var/www/html. So, I had to go into the httpd.conf and set
permissions up for /home/* to allow instead of deny.

This simply means chmod the directory to 755 (the important thing is the
last 5)
Just type chmod -R 755 /home/userdir
You shuld get this permissions to the files
-rwxr-xr-x
So that they are readable and executable for anybody (i.e. an apache client)
