Permission Denied by Apache 2

[dlamet]

I'm on OS X 10.6. I'm using Apache2 with Passenger for Ruby support. I now want to work on a PHP project. I've created a directory in my local user's tree for it and a virtual host. When I browse to the site, I get a permissions error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.​

I've changed permissions on everything to 777 (open as I can make it) in the directory and up the tree to my user's root. That didn't help. I then changed the user to my local user. That didn't seem to help either. (Aapche is running with user/www group/admin)

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any content to get in that directory? If you don't have an index.whatever, and you block showing the contents of a directory you'll get the same message.
