[users@httpd] Forgive a Newbie :(
Hi Users,
This is such an st00pid question!
I have set up my apache server to enable the users to have their own
directorys for their content. However when they go to a incomplete
path such as http://whatever/~user1/ they get a permission denied
error. They need to enter the full path such as
http://whatever/~user1/index.htm it is fine.
How can I get apache to serve files such as index.htm etc to the
default web address?

Best regards,
Michael (mike@thompsonmike.co.uk)

Look at DirectoryIndex in you httpd.conf file.

Did you set the DirectoryIndex ? You can add here as much as docnames as you
want to be opened as index. When there isn't a file with a name listed in
DirectoryIndex you will get the error message.
