Well they *look* OK, but the problem is definately unix permissions so you need
to dig deeper:
- did you check that point Joshua raised about SELinux?
- is /home/canderan a physical disk on the web server?
- if you login as the apache user, can you list/open the files in
/home/canderan?
- if you run apache as user "canderan", does it work?
- if you do something like:
Alias /testurl /home/canderan/public_html
then hit http://yourserver/testurl, do you see the dir?
You've basically got to try all the angles to see if anything turns on the
light...
Rgds,
Owen Boyle
