I'm attempting to set up personal web sharing on my more-or-less stock Leopard install. I've turned on Web Sharing from the control panel, and http://localhost/ gets me the apache default install page. However, http://localhost/~myusername/ results in a 403 Forbidden error. I haven't edited httpd.conf, and I'm pretty sure that it's working correctly -- http://localhost/~fakeusername/ results in a 404. When I "get info" on my ~/myusername/sites/ directory, I see that I have R/W, "unknown" has R, "everyone" has R.

Any idea how to convince Apache it wants to serve my pages? I know I could just download MAMP, but now the principle of the thing is bugging me..
