The Problem
I have installed apache 2.2 in centos 6. Everything worked fine when the apache folder was at its default location /var/www/html. Then I configured a Virtual host inside my users home folder. After that apache started showing Forbidden You don't have permission error when I tried to go to localhost or 127.0.0.1 from browser.
this is the code i used in httpd.conf
I also disabled SElinux as was mentioned in some articles but in vain. If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/home/anjan/workspace/mfs" ServerName anjan-centOS <Directory "/home/anjan/workspace/mfs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order Deny,Allow Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>

The Solution
I solved the problem. After meddling with the permission of the system I found out that the user "anjan" who is owner of /home/anjan had read/write/execute permission on /home/anjan but the group "anjan", created when user "anjan" was created didn't have any permission at all.
ls -l /home/showed
drwx------. 28 anjan anjan 4096 Jan 21 13:19 anjanso I changed the permission with this command
chmod -R 770 /home/anjan ls -l /home/ drwxrwx---. 28 anjan anjan 4096 Jan 21 13:19 anjani found out under which user my apache is running from this thread. It was running under user "apache" so I added user "apache" to group "anjan" with this command.
usermod -G anjan,apache apacheafter that voila. No more Forbidden error.
