403 Forbidden, please advise

[Maquiavelo]

Greetings,

Recently some of our clients have been experiencing a 403 Forbidden error webpage.

We ran updatenow and enablefileprotect and nothing
Checked the permisions, they have the exact same permissions as other users
Checked .htaccess it's empty.
Checked with http://mainserver/~username and IT WORKS.

This is the virtualhost config in httpd:

<VirtualHost IP>
ServerAlias www.clientwebsite.com clientwebsite.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@clientwebsite.com
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/clientwebsite-bytes_log
ServerName www.clientwebsite.com
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/username:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
</IfModule>
User username
Group username
CustomLog domlogs/clientwebsite.com combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>


Somebody please advise

USER is the username of the account experiencing the problem:

cd /home/USER
chown USER:nobody public_html

All fixed?
