I am having a problem with a test page I set up for my website. The config file (index.html) looks like this
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to website.net!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Success! The website.net virtual host is working!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Which should display a page like this in my browser when I navigate to www.mywebsite.net
Welcome to website.net!
Success! The website.net virtual host is working!
However I get a 403 "forbidden" error when I navigate to the page. What am I missing? I have the directory installed on /var/www/mywebsite.net/public_html/index.html
I have the permissions of the /var/www directory set to 755 so that others can read and exicute it but it does not seem to be working. I also have port 80 open on my iptable. The
server is a VPS
server if that makes a difference however I have added a DNS record for the ip address.
Any help is appreciated!
UPDATE:
Here is my virtual host configuration file "mywebsite.net.conf"
<VirtualHost *:80>
