Apache Permission issues

I have recently setup a ne Virtual Host on my Macbook, but when I try to view the site I get a 403 Forbidden message. The error log reports...

"(13)Permission denied: /Users/me/Documents/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable"

Virtual Host config...

There is no .htaccess file in the /Users/me/Documents folder, but I have also tried creating and copying one that works from another VHost. Still getting the same error. I have set the owner for Documents to me:_www which seems to work everywhere else.

Can anyone help me with this? Why is it looking for an .htaccess file?

Thanks,

T

I worked it out in the end (not that I hadn't spent ages before posting this).

It was because the site files were in my Documents folder, which the _www group does not have access to. Moved it elsewhere & it worked.

Thanks for the response anyway.
