CentOS - Aug 2007 - Solved: HTTP user directory permissions - Centos 5 post-install

The problem was permissions on /home/user   not /home/user/public_html

I have not spent the time looking into details, but I booted up the old 
server (fortunately I had not blown away the drive content yet), and 
looked at all the directory tree.

The permissions for /home/user was drwx--x--x

The user that I was using on the new system was the one created by the 
post-install, first boot process.  Its permissions were:

drwx------

Other users that I created with drwxx-rx-r

So I changed the new system's user directory permissions to match that 
of the old system, and everything is working.

Just one more footnote about installing a new Centos 5 system, check the 
user directory permissions.
