Hey all, I'm trying to get Apache working on my iMac (running latest OS and update), I turn on web sharing, which from what I understand should get everything working. When I try to accsess a file in my Sites dirrectory though, I get error 403 " Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~daniel/index.html on this server. " The URL I am trying to connect to is localhost/~daniel/index.html

I can connect to localhost, just not localhost/~daniel and anything that comes after that.
Permissions are set so I can read and write, and everyone else can just read. I have the correct firewall settings as well.
 
Apache keeps an error log where you can see what the problem is. In your case, though, it is very clear: Fix the permissions.
