Take a look at your <Options> directive(s) for the directories you wish to access. It should contain "FollowSymLinks" if you wish symlinks to work. (www.apache.org has all the docs; take a look at "Options"). As far as using the ~hawk URL, what is your UserDir directive set to? I believe the default is "public_html" ... if you changed that to "www" your URL should work. Otherwise, it won't :) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 phone: (605) 334-4454 fax: (605) 335-1173 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net PGP Key ID: 0xA33B86E9 - Public key available at keyservers PGP Key fingerprint: CE03 10AF 3281 1858 9D32 C2AB 936D C472 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
