Hi, i have a small problem. Ok, basically. i have http://home.drirc.net

i just created that.. so what i did was
mkdir -p /dh/users
mkdir -p /dh/htdocs
mkdir -p /dh/wwwlogs

then i went in httpd.conf, added a vhost for home.drirc.net, document root = /dh/htdocs
# home.drirc.net
<VirtualHost 64.124.9.175:80>
ServerName home.drirc.net
ServerAdmin devnull@drirc.net
DocumentRoot /dh/htdocs
ErrorLog /dh/wwwlogs/error_log
CustomLog /dh/wwwlogs/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

anyhow
basically what i want to do is i just want to be able to give some friends home pages, about 10mb of space.
i want it to be either http://home.drirc.net/~username or http://home.drirc.net/username

so what i did was, i made a small shell script, nothing fancy, nothing big...

#!/bin/sh
# Adding a new domain to the webserver.
echo Whats the username
read username
adduser $username -d /dh/users/$username
passwd $username
echo
echo
echo Creating htdocs directory for $username
mkdir -p /dh/users/$username/htdocs
echo Setting permissions properly..
chown -R $username /dh/users/$username
chmod 711 /dh/users/$username
chmod -R 755 /dh/users/$username/htdocs
chown -R $username /dh/users/$username
chgrp -R $username /dh/users/$username
rm -rf /dh/users/*/.kde
rm -rf /dh/users/*/.wl
rm -rf /dh/users/*/Desktop
rm -f /dh/users/*/.bash*
rm -f /dh/users/*/.screen*
rm -f /dh/users/*/.em*
echo
echo Done!

what i do is i login thru ftp, with the username i created
and it works and all
i go in the htdocs dir
and upload an image
so when u goto http://home.drirc.net/~username it shows the index OF....... But when u click on the image, or file, or whatever.. it says 403 forbidden

/dh/wwwlogs/error_Log says

[Sat Nov 17 15:00:15 2001] [error] [client 24.226.14.56] (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /dh/users/bob/htdocs/cool.jpg

can anyone help?
BTW, in my httpd.conf, i have this stuff put in

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
UserDir htdocs
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride All
Options All MultiViews
</Directory>

<Directory /dh/users/*/htdocs>
AllowOverride All
Options All MultiViews
</Directory>

<Directory /dh/htdocs>
AllowOverride All
Options All MultiViews
</Directory>



i dunno what is wrong.

can anyone help me out?

Howdy,

Check the permissions on the files. The webserver prob. can not read the file.

You might also want to look at the settings of umask in their profile. The determines the default permissions when files are created.

n/m
it was a umask issue
setting the ftpds umask to 022 fixed it
