Directory index creation - well known problem, completely unknowncauses

Hello!

I know the problem is very common among newbies like me but I'm
desperate a bit since I haven't made even a tiny step towards solving it
despite digging the internet for solution for couple of days.

I use Gentoo 2004.0 with Apache 2.0.49. I've created a user's account
for user "wysy", then a "public_html" directory under /home/wysy/ and,
as root, chmoded it along with whole /home/ hierarchy to 755. However
when I try to access the directory with web browser through [IP
address]/~wysy I get "You don't have permission to access /~wysy/ on
this server". Of course everything works fine when I put some index.html
into public_html; Apache just serves the file properly.

Apache's error log shows me this:

[client 192.168.0.1] Directory index forbidden by rule:
/home/wysy/public_html/

Now, here is a snippet from my commonapache2.conf:

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Directory>

As you can see I have Options Indexes. I've tried Options All and
Options +Indexes as well as no Options directive at all. In every case I
get the same result: access denied.

Is there anyone in this group who can help me? Thank you in advance.
