Topic: Newbie Question - Virtual Hosts

[zax24]

Hi,

I am trying to set up Apache 2.2.4 to use virtual hosts, and I have nearly cracked it, but I seem to have a problem with the permissions.
I try and visit the root of the virtual host with the browser and I always get: 403 Forbidden

The error log says:
"client denied by server configuration: C:/var/cfmxapp"

and in the httpd-vhosts.conf file I have:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName dev.in.stephenbarton.org
DocumentRoot "C:/var/cfmxapp/wwwroot/mySite"

ServerAdmin bartonsr@gmail.com
ErrorLog logs/mySite-error_log
CustomLog logs/mySite-access_log common

</VirtualHost>

So there seems to be a permission issue here, but I am stuck and no idea how to proceed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen

You need to add the permission for the doc root

Now that looked like it should have worked... but it didn't

It seems I have a similar problem to that dforthman had in this thread:
http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=1780

But there was no resolution to the problem...

Now the error log has logged the error:
"Warning: DocumentRoot [C:/var/cfmxapp/wwwroot/dev.in.mySite.org] does not exist"

But it does!! Really.

Did you edit your host file to reach the domain name or do you tried 127.0.0.1 / localhost? Or do you run a DNS server?

I used 'localhost', is this the piece you mean?:
