I have configured httpd.conf as follows for user personal webpages:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

and

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

Yest I keep getting a 403 message as follows:
Forbidden

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

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Perms are:

drwxr-xr-x  107 <user1> wheel 20480 Feb  7 13:10 /home/<user1>
drwxr-xr-x   13 root  root   4096 Jan 23 08:26 /home
drwxr-xr-x   21 gerry wheel  4096 Aug 15 12:22 /home/<user1>/public_html/

Where <user1> is the username.

This worked with Apache2 and RH9

Any clues?

I expect the error log will tell you what's wrong.

Oh, and why the <IfModule>?

Nope. Error log reports:
[Mon Feb 07 13:48:58 2005] [error] [client 207.189.41.25] (13)Pe
rmission
denied: access to /~<user1>/ denied

As you are aware perms should be correct. Why should access be denied?

What's that got to do with the <IfModule>?

Then you have your answer.  Google for "(13) Permission denied" and
all will be revealed.

As -you- are aware, permissions -should- be correct.  Evidently they
are not.

Never mind it is not an apache problem.
