Apache + CentOS 6 + Joomla: You don't have permission to access / on this server

Question

My site was in /usr/local/apache/htdocs.

Now i created new account in cpanel and move site to /home/account_name/public_html

Group and owner for all files are "account_name"

.htaccess and path configuration for a site are OK

I get error: "You don't have permission to access / on this server."

What i need to change to get it work?

Maybe some things in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf ?

Your apache is running with process uid and gid preventing it from accessing /home/account_name/public_html.

You can change group for this folder to apache:

chgrp -R apache /home/account_name/public_html
chmod g+rx  /home/account_name/public_html

or you can give anyone rx permission on this folder:

chmod o+rx /home/account_name/public_html

Problem was in permissions for folder "public_html" I changed it from 0750 to 0755 and all works! – johnode May 18 '12 at 14:19
I can be mistaken with apache username in Centos. – DukeLion May 18 '12 at 14:26
