HI;

Jeff is correct on his reply (see post). Make sure that
the users have log on locally perms.

Also when you set up the website if you checked either of
the two "isolate users" options then users won't be able
to get to their respective allowed directories/files.

The error message "home directory is inaccessible" is
exactly what I got unitl I recreated the website with the
no isolation option.
If you can see that error message, then you know at least
the user ID/PW are working for logging in.
