Subject:		Forbidden 403 Error on Virtual Hosts?

I have been through the directions 3 times and can't figure what I messed up. I have three separate virtual domains setup in both etc/hosts and httpd.conf. All provide the same error message. Do I need to add "Allow from all" to the master <Directory> section? This already appears under the root document directory and in "Include /private/etc/httpd/users" which is the last line of httpd.conf Suggestions please.

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

Forbidden 403 Error on Virtual Hosts?

Check and make sure every directory from / down to the directory your serving files from has execute permission set for all users. You need to make sure that *every* directory in the path has this set. The lack of this can produce a 403 error.
