If so, what files? I did a chmod 700 on /etc, and user directories(cpl.net/~user) stop working, but virtualhosts still worked, in fact the only thing that broke was user directories. Does anyone know what may have been the problem, or what file(s) the web server needs? The Apache error_log had this to say when attempting access to my (or any) user directory : [Fri Aug 20 19:10:19 1999] [error] [client 192.216.87.249] File does not exist: /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/cpl-dev/~shawn Which makes no sence, because my home directory is in /disk6/shawn ....... (symlinked from /home, but I don't think that matters) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
