[users@httpd] Why userdir does not work

[Soheil Noori Bushehri <so...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is there any idea why UserDir may not work as instructed in the manual?
That is, although there is a

UserDir    public_html

(and it is the only userdir directive) in httpd.conf, when I try to
access http://localhost/~soheil/, I get the error

	Forbidden
	You don't have permission to access /~soheil/ on this server.

The other relevant settings in httpd.conf:

...
LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so
...

# actual userdir setting is :
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir  public_html 
</IfModule>

# directory setting :
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And some bash checkings:

bash> ls  -ld  /home  /home/soheil  /home/soheil/public_html 
drwxr-xr-x   5 root   root   4096 Aug 23 18:30 /home
drwxr-xr-x  52 soheil soheil 4096 Sep  4 16:06 /home/soheil
drwxr-xr-x   4 soheil soheil 4096 Sep  4 00:46 /home/soheil/public_html

bash> ls  -la   /home/soheil/public_html
drwxr-xr-x   4 soheil soheil 4096 Sep  4 00:46 .
drwxr-xr-x  52 soheil soheil 4096 Sep  4 17:20 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 soheil soheil  248 Sep  4 00:46 index.html


OS is Fedora Core 4.

Thanks
