Thanks Owen and everybody else. The error I get in the browser is: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. The error I get in the log is: [Tue Oct 11 16:47:32 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied [Tue Oct 11 16:47:32 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /favicon.ico denied [Tue Oct 11 16:47:32 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /favicon.ico denied The facts are: When I change the DocRoot back to /home/dotancohen/www/public_html all works as expected. When I change to /var/www/html I get the errors described. /var/www and /var/www/html are permissions 744. I restart apache whenever I change the httpd.conf file. Might I be changing httpd.cong in a not correct manner? I do it by commenting/uncommenting these lines: ------ # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations. DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" # DocumentRoot "/home/dotancohen/www/public_html" # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. <Directory "/var/www/html"> # <Directory "/home/dotancohen/www/public_html"> ------ Dotan http://technology-sleuth.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
