403 forbidden root on apache mac os x 10.7, but can access user directories
- by philosophistry
When I access http://localhost/ I get 403 Forbidden, but if I access http://localhost/~username it serves up pages. Things I've tried:
- checking error logs
- swapping out with original httpd conf files
- changing DocumentRoot to my user directory (after all that should work if I can access ~username)
I've seen 30 plus Q&A sites that all point to people having trouble with user directories being forbidden. I have the opposite problem, and so I'm tearing my hair out here.
