Virtual Hosts in 10.7.3

Hi all

I'm trying to set up virtual host in 10.7.3

I have set

127.0.0.1 www.mysite.dev

in /private/etc/hosts

I've enabled Virtual Host in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

I then have httpd-vhosts.conf as follows

ServerName www.mysite.dev

DocumentRoot "/Volumes/MacPro\ RAID/Web\ Development/mysite"

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

How ever I get

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

The folder mysite has all permissions set to read/write.

So can any one point out what I'm missing.

Cheers

Steve

I'm no expert with this sort of thing, but what worked for me when I was using it was this, in httpd-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "/Users/thomas/Sites/ReedCorner"

ServerName reedcorner.dev

ServerAlias reedcorner.dev

ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/reedcorner.dev-error_log"

</VirtualHost>

...and in /etc/apache2/users/thomas.conf:

<Directory "/Users/thomas/Sites/ReedCorner">

Options Indexes MultiViews Includes

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

The entry in your hosts file looks right.

Hi thanks for the reply.

Actually I sorted it. The issue was that I was escaping the spaces in the directory as you normally do interminal.

This

Should be
