Fixing 403 Forbidden on alias directory with Apache

Question

I am trying to setup an alias to point to some directory on my filesystem not in DocumentRoot. Now I get a 403 Forbidden response. These are the steps taken: 1. edit http.co

Answer 1

It certainly does look right, do a sanity check.

• you restarted apache

• check group and user ownership

• I think the quotes can be removed

• there is something in /Users/user/Documents/example ?

• try 777
