Re: UserDir/403 error
The permissions need to be
RWXR-XR-X on your public_html directory.

^^^^^^^^^

Ack! Should be true that the directory needs to be executable, but
files need be read only (except for owner). Sorry about that.

Not quite true. I find that -rw-r--r-- is sufficient permission.

You might check your permissions directive for the user directory to be
sure that gets, etc. are allowed. This directive assumes a read only
directory.
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
...
...
<limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE PATCH PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY ...(etc.)>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Limit>
</Directory>
As a newbie myself, I must be one day ahead of you---I just did work
through this one.
