I'm running Apache 2 on RH9 small image. I'm trying to set up virtualhosts. I get "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." It's a permissions issue. I've the vhosts set up in /home -- I used useradd on the command line to create the directories after I created directories "www" and "logs" in /etc/skel.

DocumentRoot for this virtualhost is /home/schof/www. /home/schof/* is set to owner:group schof:schof. Everyone can read. (chmod -R a+r /home/schof/www). If I "chown -R apache:apache /home/schof/www" everything works fine. But what about the operator of a virtualhost trying to FTP in? Shouldn't it work with owner and group schof if read access is given to everyone?

Thanks!

Turns out the directory needs the xecute bit as well. Sorry to bug y'all.
