Setting up Apache 2.2 virtual hosts

I tried to setup a development environment in my local Apache server to have multiple sites, each with its own name. However when I try to access them (ex. http://site1) from a browser I get:

Quote:

Forbidden

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

This is what I have done so far in order to enable vhosts:

Quote:

I created a folder to keep for my projects and added an html file in each site folder

cd
mkdir webdev
cd webdev
mkdir site1 site2

I uncommented the following line in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Code:

Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

and then edited /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:80



<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@site1

    DocumentRoot /home/reborn/webdev/site1/

    ServerName site1

    ServerAlias *.site1

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/site1.log"

    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/site1.log" common

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@site2

    DocumentRoot /home/reborn/webdev/site2/

    ServerName site2

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/site2.log"

    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/site2.log" common

</VirtualHost>

and /etc/hosts

Code:

127.0.0.1    localhost

127.0.0.1    site1 site2

In /var/log/httpd/site1.log I get

Quote:

[Sun Dec 11 02:48:41 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /home/reborn/webdev/site1/
127.0.0.1 - - [11/Dec/2011:02:48:41 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 202

I can post httpd.conf too, if you need it.

Google hasn't helped me much.
I am using slackware 13.37 and Apache version 2.2.21

EDIT: I want to add that the server worked correctly before and still does if I comment again the line in httpd.conf that includes extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, then I can can access localhost from a browser but uses /var/www/htdocs as DocumentRoot.

You need a "Directory" directive to allow access to the directory...

Something like this...

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>

<Directory /home/reborn/webdev/site1>

    Options FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride None

    Order deny,allow

    Allow from all

</Directory>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@site1

    DocumentRoot /home/reborn/webdev/site1/

    ServerName site1

    ServerAlias *.site1

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/site1.log"

    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/site1.log" common

</VirtualHost>

If you have SELinux turned on you may want to set it to "Permissive Mode"

Code:

setenfore 0

-C

Yes or make /home/reborn/webdev directory globally available

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:80



<Directory "/home/reborn/webdev">

    AllowOverride None

    Options None

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

</Directory>



<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@site1

    DocumentRoot /home/reborn/webdev/site1/

    ServerName site1

    ServerAlias *.site1

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/site1.log"

    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/site1.log" common

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@site2

    DocumentRoot /home/reborn/webdev/site2/

    ServerName site2

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/site2.log"

    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/site2.log" common

</VirtualHost>

Yes you are right, I added the "Directory" directive and now everything works!

Thanks a lot!
