I know this is probably an easy thing to fix, but I can't figure it out.

When I go to http://localhost/~User/ (with my user name that I am logged in as) I get a 403 Forbidden message. I had this problem before in Panther and I didn't worry about it because I figured whatever I did to mess it up would be fixed when I cleanly install Tiger. And it WAS fixed when I first started using Tiger. But now its back to being forbidden. I have no idea what I did to cause it. I haven't installed any web stuff at all since the install.

The funny thing is, If I go to http://localhost/~User/someFile.html it is not forbidden, or If I put an index.html file in there it will work fine, its just the auto indexing thats screwed up.

I found This thread about the same problem. I had already tried to chmod my sites folder to 777 and that didn't help so I tried the chmod the guy on that thread suggested and that didn't help either.

I checked my httpd.conf file and as far as I can tell, being an amateur at web server stuff, it looks like auto indexing is on. I haven't messed with anything in httpd.conf other than enabling PHP. So unless that screwed it up then I'm lost.

Any suggestions?
