[SOLVED] run ~/public_html from usb stick

Hey everyone,

I have two Arch machines which I do some light web dev work on and I'm looking for an easy way to share files between the two.

I have an encrypted usb drive that I've mounted to ~/public_html, edited the httpd-userdir.conf to point to the right folder, and changed the permissions, however I keep getting error 403 when I try to access the folder.  Not sure what else to look at or if I'm just making this harder than it needs to be....

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!

I've *sort of* fixed this by changing my document root in httpd.conf to the ~/public_html folder.  It's not exactly what I'm looking for though...., but at least its working.

Well after much tinkering I couldn't get it to work properly.  So instead I just created  folder in /srv/http called usb and have my usbdrive mounted there.  In the end it does what I was looking for to begin with.
