Apache UserDir not function

Hallo !

I just installed Arch Linux and I think its a nice distro, espesially to learn Linux from!

I have followed the wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP
and I cant get Apache UserDir to function. I get an Error 403 when I try to get http://localhost/~klas

What can bee wrong? I haved also read somewere on the net that you should create a special user and group for Apache.
How do I disable shell for Apache then, and do I set its usercatalog to httpd?

Greatfull for yor help.
(excuse my bad english)

Re: Apache UserDir not function

You have made sure that you successfully created the folder public_html in your home folder?

Yes, and I changed it to bee executable (chmod a+x ~/public_html) and al files in the folder to (index.html, index.php) Even changed my homefolder by (chmod a+x ~)!

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Apache UserDir not function

Ok, I understand this know. The webserver is running as the user nobody. Nobady is in Other. So you have to give permission to other to execute in your homefolder (who I think is a bit stupid for the security, and I understand why it is good to make a group for your webserver to run as, know).

So I run
chmod 701 /home/klas

and got OUT for my folder:
drwx-----x

You also need to go to http://SERVERNAME~user/
.. to get yor site; you need the end slash !

Thanks for your help!
