[Solved]Apache 404 upon accessing user home dir [public html]

Hi

I just installed apache following the wiki. Everything works fine except ~/public_html. When i try to access it i get 404.
I didnt alter any conf files, just chmod public_html dir.

home/lab
drwxr-xr-x 1 lab lab 20 Ιούλ  4 22:15 public_html

public_html/:

-rw-r--r-x 1 lab lab 52 Ιούλ  4 22:15 index.html

local ip - - [05/Jul/2017:12:16:02 +0300] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 481
local ip - - [05/Jul/2017:12:16:02 +0300] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 976
local ip - - [05/Jul/2017:12:16:02 +0300] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 976
local ip - - [05/Jul/2017:12:16:08 +0300] "GET /lab HTTP/1.1" 404 976
local ip - - [05/Jul/2017:12:18:34 +0300] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 481
local ip - - [05/Jul/2017:12:19:02 +0300] "GET /lab HTTP/1.1" 404 976

What URL are you using to access the home site in the browser?

"server's lan ip"/lab <-- lab is the users home dir

You're missing the tilde. Try http://ip:ad:re:ss/~lab

Re: [Solved]Apache 404 upon accessing user home dir [public html]

To expand on the above, what that url is attempting to access (assuming default settings as you've indicated) would be a file at /srv/http/lab or /srv/http/lab/index.html.  No such file or directory exists, so you get a 404.  The tilde at the start of the resource name indicates that it is in /home/*/public_html where the * is filled in by what is after the tilde:

http://domain.tld/lab/index.html -> /srv/http/lab/index.html
http://domain.tld/~lab/index.html -> /home/lab/public_html/index.html
