namevirtualhost error msg dont have permission to access /

[chrissss]

Hi

Ive been trying to set up a namevirtualhost, ive altered my hosts file which
looks like this
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 www.peta.com.au

then i added to the httpd.conf

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName www.peta.com.au
DocumentRoot /home/peta/web
<Directory /home/peta/web>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have an index file in the above document root.


When i type in the address into the browser i get an error msg
saying i dont have permission to access /

it dont seem to matter where i define the document root for the virtual host
...i always get the same message.. plus defining a namevirtual host seems to
stop me accessing any file ...i get the same msg even for the localhost but
soon as i comment out the namevirtualhost directives the localhost works
fine.

i think its probably a simple prob but i just cant work it out!

thanks chris

Hi,
I think you forget to put inside the directory block this:

Options All
AllowOverride All

so
<Directory /home/peta/web>
Options All
AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

or whatever you wanted to customize it...
