Working on setting up a LAMP Server that will power internal websites at LAN Parties.

I have websites setup using the following directory structure:

CODE

       /home/cypher/public_html/site_www.stlouislan.lan
       /home/cypher/public_html/site_pointofsale.stlouislan.lan

       /home/admin1/public_html/site_admin.stlouislan.lan

Apache Configs

CODE

       NameVirtualHost *:80

       # Default Page for IP-Only
       <VirtualHost *:80>
               ServerName 10.1.1.3
               DocumentRoot /var/www/html
       </VirtualHost>

       # Primary Intranet
         <Directory /home/cypher/public_html/site_www.stlouislan.lan>
           Order Deny,Allow
           Allow from all
         </Directory>

         <VirtualHost *:80>
                 ServerName www.stlouislan.lan
                 DocumentRoot /home/cypher/public_html/site_www.stlouislan.lan
         </VirtualHost>

       # Point of Sale
         <Directory /home/cypher/public_html/site_pointofsale.stlouislan.lan>
           Order Deny,Allow
           Allow from all
         </Directory>

         <VirtualHost *:80>
                 ServerName pointofsale.stlouislan.lan
                 DocumentRoot /home/cypher/public_html/site_pointofsale.stlouislan.lan
         </VirtualHost>

       # Primary Administration
         <Directory /home/admin1/public_html/site_admin.stlouislan.lan>
           Order Deny,Allow
           Allow from all
         </Directory>

         <VirtualHost *:80>
                 ServerName admin.stlouislan.lan
                 DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/site_admin.stlouislan.lan
         </VirtualHost>

Apache is currently running as: apache / apache

I kept getting 403 Forbidden when accessing these sites, other than the default vHost of 10.1.1.3. I even went as far as to chmod 777 /home/USERNAME/public_html/* -R and I'm still getting the 403 Forbidden.

If I change apache to run as cypher / cypher, I can get to the domains that belong to that user, but get 403 Forbidden on "admin.stlouislan.lan"

The UserDir's won't work for me, as I am using Name-Based Virtual Hosts.

Can anyone help me get Apache configured to where I can access Web Directories in users home directories while still maintaining some type of security on those files.

Thank you!

What do the apache error logs say?
