Apache Gives me 403 Error when trying to access “/” on server
Question
When I try to change the web root path to any other folder it give me a 403 error (Forbidden), The default path is /Library/WebServer/Documents , but since this rather annoying for me, I changed it too /Users/Xero/WebServer
Permissions
I got the permissions from/Library/WebServer/Documents by right clicking and selecting Get info ( http://i.imgur.com/f21D7z0.png What it looks like)
So I changed it to be the exact same for /Users/Xero/WebServer . But it give me a 403 error still.
Attempt to fix
So, I looked it up on Google, and I tried these solutions to fix my problem:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apache-403-forbidden-error-and-solution/
Error message "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server" (Stack Overflow)
But they didn't help.
Other Notes
Remember I'm using the preinstalled Apache on OS X Snow leopard. And, my virtual host isn't local, so it's not part or thehosts file issue (It's hosted off my DNS, and my IP as a backup, neither work)
My Virtual Hosts:
User _www
Group _www
Also, I have my httpd.conf User and Group setup like this:
User _www Group _www

What file exactly are you getting all of this from?
<VirtualHost *:80> ( Edited 2 )
DocumentRoot "/Users/Xero/WebServer"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
DocumentRoot "/Users/Xero/WebServer"
ServerName wrks.tk
ErrorLog "/Logs/Workarea/wrks-err"
CustomLog "/Logs/Workarea/wrks-acc" common
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
<Directory "/Users/Xero/WebServer">
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/Xero/WebServer"
ServerName 209.169.203.53
ErrorLog "/Logs/Workarea/ip"
CustomLog "/Logs/Workarea/ip-acc" common
<Directory "/Users/Xero/WebServer">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
There are more than one file for those settings. If you have apache, then take a look in the sites-enabled and sites-available folders.
Change the bottom part of your httpd.conf file to:
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Require all granted
Make a new file index.html and put the following in it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>It works!</h1>
<p>This is the default web page for this server.</p>
<p>The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.</p>
</body>
</html>
Then place the index.html file into the empty directory.
create a file in /etc/apache2/users/ called yourusername.conf (yourusername being the account short name, eg hulu – it's usually the name of your home folder in /Users) with the following contents:
<Directory "/Users/yourusername/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
