Topic: I am having problems accessing my website on my Apache serve

[rlttharp]

Hello All,

I have just created a virtual server inside my Apache server using webmin! I have an e-commerce site I am putting up. When I first put it up it was in the root directory and I had a problem with security which was solved. Now since I have moved it to the virtual area I have tis error log message: "[Tue Sep 04 18:02:09 2007] [error] [client 76.245.94.169] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/" and this is the access log message that goes with it "76.245.94.169 - - [04/Sep/2007:17:59:01 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 3956" Also it just goes to the FedoraCore test page? I am a newbie to Linux and Apache so any help would be greatly appreciated. www.petestown.com

hello!
Inside your vhost, you have to set the permission for your vhost.

Hi James thanks for the response! I tried it but no diffrence. I did not edit the welcome.conf it seems to be right from what I have read here is my config file for the httpd. Now the webmin created a name based virtual server when I installed it and its config file is /etc/httpd/conf.d/system-config-httpd.conf, where as the main server's config is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I tried it in both places! here is what the files look like .
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/home/petestown/public_html"
ServerName www.petestown.com
ServerAlias www.petestown.net
ServerAlias www.petestown.info

the welcome.config is
#
# This configuration file enables the default "Welcome"

any thoughts? I fooled with it all day and still have the same message?
