Serving a directory from /home/max via httpd, permissions?

How would I do this?  I created a soft link to /srv/http but it doesn't show up because of permission issues.

Re: Serving a directory from /home/max via httpd, permissions?

create in your home public_html directory and change permission /home/max to 711 and same for /home/max/public_html.
then you can acces your files from http://localhost/~max
this is the right way to serve directory from your home directory

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

For that to work you must have mod_userdir enabled in httpd.conf.
