It's time to browse back through your httpd.conf file and figure
out how to enable access to users' home directories. Consider, however,
whether you really want to bother. Since this is *your* machine and nobody
else's (i.e., not intended to serve for many users), you may wish to just
work in the root httpd directory which is likely to be
/home/httpd/html. If you make a new file /home/httpd/html/mypage.html and
it has world-readable permissions on it, then you should be able to access
it with:
http://devil/mypage.html
It's great fun to work with the flexibility and power of Apache on
your own machine. If you *really* want to work in /~sdenny, then look for
the word 'UserDir' in your httpd.conf file. The option may be commented
out.
