Hi Niccki,


Please try with this :-

Here's a couple things to consider:

First of all confirm that your home directory has group writeable permissions. If it doesn't that's probably your problem.

Second, Are you trying to write to a linked directory? If you are then you need to add 'followsymlinks:1' to your FrontPage config file.

If neither of the above helped then you might want to try this solution:

Confirm that you made a "htdocs" directory in your /home/usersdir that your httpd.conf is pointing to. If not you can fix it like this:

1. add a user
2. mkdir /home/usersdir/htdocs
3. chmod 755 /homeuser/htdocs

Thank you
