All you have to do is put 'UserDir public_html' in your /etc/apache/srm.conf
Then, you need to issue the following commands: chmod a+x ~user mkdir ~user/public_html chmod a+rx ~user/public_html echo "hello" > ~user/public_html/test chmod a+r ~user/public_html/test Then, try lynx localhost/~user/test This should work. Carl
