Response to: Forbidden 403 Error on Virtual Hosts?
I have a 403 Error, too. I did it exactly like the tutorial sais, so I would be glad if someone could help... Thank you.

  Hmmm... not sure what's causing that.
  
  It may help to look at the complete Apache config file I used for this article. (This conf comes straight from my main dev machine -- and it's working fine.)

  Okay. One thing was different and that was the document root. Mine still said "/Library/WebServer/Douments" while yours was set to "/Users/patrick/Sites"
  
  I changes this accordingly and followed the permission advice of the other poster. Now my error is a simple File Not Found.
  
  I am attempting to set the document root for the Virtual hosts outside of the root. Do I need to set an alias somewhere or mess with NetInfo?

  There's no problem with setting the document root for a VirtualHost outside of your default web root. (That's sort of the point of Option 3.)
  
  That said, if you're getting a 404 error, it's probably a different issue.
  
  Best,

  Update - couldn't edit previous without joining ;)
  
  Typos in Virtualhost names. Only exception was directory with "-" was not accepted. When that was removed from hostname all three sites work! Yeah!
  
  Thanks for the help everyone.
