Error 403 (Forbidden) at user's encrypted public_html directory

I have a clean installation of Ubuntu 10.10 for my new workstation.

I used tasksel to install lamp-server.

I then enabled userdir module using a2enmod utility.

that loads a conf file /etc/apac开发者_StackOverflowhe2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html
    UserDir disabled root

    <Directory /home/*/public_html>
            AllowOverride All
            Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
                            Allow from all
                            Order allow,deny
            <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
            </Limit>
            <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
                    Order deny,allow
                    Deny from all
            </LimitExcept>
    </Directory>
</IfModule>

I commented all those recommended lines in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf

#<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
#    <Directory /home/*/public_html>
#        php_admin_value engine Off
#    </Directory>
#</IfModule>

I have also chmod -R 755 public_html and chgrp -R www-data public_html

And after all this setup

http://localhost/~shoaib results...

You don't have permission to access /~shoaib on this server.

WHAT I AM MISSING HERE????

This entry seems to conclude it happens if you have an encrypted home directory.

You need to set your user's home folder permission to allow others to execute in it.

chmod o+x /home/$user
