I just can't get rid of the "403 Error - Forbidden Forbidden.". My virtual host file is:
of examples. My biggest problem was the "HTTP 403 / client denied by server configuration error". There are two causes to 403 http://www.noah.org/wiki/Apache2_VirtualHost_403_error errors with virtual hosts. First, every single parent path to the virtual document root must be Readable, Writable, and Executable by the web server httpd user. The access_log will show http://jason.pureconcepts.net/2014/11/configure-apache-virtualhost-mac-os-x/ a 403 code, but the following message is returned to the browser with no "403" string printed: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server. I got 403 forbidden nailed a couple of times because one of the parent directories in the virtual document root was not executable by 'www' (the user my web server runs as). The error log file messages offer no hints when this happens. It makes it seem like a configuration problem, so you can waste a lot of time look for the problem in 403 error virtualhost httpd.conf. The second cause is actually a configuration problem -- the problem is forgetting to allow access in the httpd.conf. In this case the access_log will show a 403 error and Aapche2 will also sometimes send a "403" in the error string to the browser: HTTP 403 / client denied by server configuration error It may also send the Forbidden message with no "403" string. I don't know what this difference means. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server. A tail of the error_log gives a message like this for each access attempt: [Tue Jul 25 17:58:17 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/vhosts/palermo/ The problem is that the extra/httpd-vhosts.conf is missing the directive to allow access to the directory. Allow access by adding a
my post for installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Mac OS X: Jason, have you tried a modified Include statement for virtual hosts to map a directory? So instead of /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf as indicated, one would use /etc/apache2/extra/vhosts/*.conf and then just create a default.conf for the first virtual host, and then add/edit/delete vhost files as needed. I think it would be easier to manage host files and changes. Indeed, mountaindogmedia, this is an easier way. In fact, this is the default configuration for many servers. By default, the Apache Virtual Host configuration on Mac OS X is located in a single file: /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf. You need to edit the Apache configuration to include this file and enable virtual hosts. Over the years, I have created many virtual hosts. Each time editing httpd-vhosts.conf. To mountaindogmedia’s point, this becomes difficult to manage. Furthermore, Apache configurations often get reset when upgrading Mac OS X. In the same amount of steps (two), you can adopt a more manageable configuration. What are Virtual Hosts? From the Apache Virtual Host documentation: The term Virtual Host refers to the practice of running more than one web site on a single machine. By default, the Apache configuration on Mac OS X serves files from /Library/WebServer/Documents accessed by the name locahost. This is essentially a single site configuration. You could mimic multiple sites by creating subdirectories and access a site at localhost/somesite. This is not ideal for several reasons. Primarily, we would rather access the site using a name like somesite.local. To do that, you need to configure virtual hosts. A Cleaner Configuration Before I being, I assume you already installed and configured Apache on Mac OS X. First, open the Terminal app and switch to the root user to avoid permission issues while running these commands. sudo su - Edit the Apache configuration file: vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf Find the following line: #Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf Below it, add the following line: Include /private/etc/apache2/vhosts/*.conf This configures Apache to include all files ending in .conf in the /private/etc/apache2/vhosts/ directory. Now we need to create this directory. mkdir /etc/apache2/vhosts cd /etc/apache2/vhosts Create the default virtual host configuration file. vi _default.conf Add the following configuration:
