i get you do not have permision to access message when i try to access my site the error logs shows
[Wed Aug 22 21:10:34 2007] [error] [client 86.148.40.198] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cobrien/, referer: http://www.cobrien.co.uk/

however the httpd.conf file virtual hosts allows virtual host section for this site below

<virtualhost *>
#servername www.cobrien.co.uk
servername cobrien.dyndns.org
serveradmin cobrien@bnospamtinternet.com
documentroot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cobrien"

<directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cobrien">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</directory>

ErrorLog logs/error_log
</virtualhost>

there are 3 other virtual hosts all setup the same way but these have no errors and sites are accessible

Hi,

do you have anything in that document root?
This is just a wild guess but if you do not have anything in the document root you do not have
permission to "view" inside Directory unless you have configured it.

Other thing to check is that path to index (whole path from /usr/...)has valid permissions.
