Q: Problems understanding apache config on Mountain lion
Hi
I have installed a site on
/Library/WebServer/Mysite/myfolder
I have configured a virtual host for that in /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
and have uncommented the vhost directive in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
However I am unable to get any further than a "Directory index forbidden by Options directive" error in my logs.
As far as I can tell my options directives are correct. They are
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
I have also tried with Options Indexes Multiviews
The permissions on the relevant directory is owner=user and group=_www
I have the server.app installed. and am running 10.8.3 (on a macmini server).
This machine is not accessible from the internet, it is only used locally.
I'm at a loss as to what is causing this? As an info it's a django application thats installed by a professional. But he has not been able to understand why the macmini will not allow me to access the site.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Mac mini, OS X Server

Hi
I solved it. The issue was that I have server.app installed and did not realize that I must use
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
instead of
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
once I made those changes everything worked as it should.
