Hi everyone!
I am using the latest version of Apache (downloaded today) on Windows XP. I have setup a virtual host for a website hosted in the /httpd/testing/wwwroot/ directory on my computer. I have commented IN the following line in httpd.conf:
| Code: | | Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf |
And I have added the required VirtualHost entries to the httpd-vhosts.conf file:
| Code: | NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost.testing
DocumentRoot /httpd/testing/wwwroot/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /httpd/testing/wwwroot/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.html
ServerName localhost.testing
ErrorLog logs/localhost.testing-error_log
CustomLog logs/localhost.testing-access_log common
</VirtualHost> |
Accessing http://localhost works fine but http://localhost.testing gives me a 403 Forbidden error. If I set the DocumentRoot directive to the same as in the main httpd.conf (<installation directory>/htdocs) it works fine. I've also tried creating an index.html file in <installation directory>/htdocs/x and using this as the DocumentRoot. This works fine too.
The only conclusion I can come to is that it is down to permissions on the folder. But so far as I am aware Apache has access to read the folder I have directed it to.
Please anyone who can help I would greatly appreciate it as I need to get this fixed ASAP.
Thanks
Jay

Hmmm - do I need to fix the <Directory>...</Directory> block somehow? Or add one for the directory I am trying to use? That might be way off track  |

Someone from another forum answered this question for me - I need to include a Directory block like this:
| Code: | <Directory /httpd/testing/wwwroot>
... (whatever options you want)
Allow from all
</Directory> |
Thanks for looking in! |
