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

Hello,

I've set all permissions for all on my Server folders:

chmod a+rwx ServerFolder

When I browse to localhost:8000 I receive the following error:

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

why ?

thanks

The owner of your webserver process must have the proper permissions.

Please post more details, cut-and-paste your error messages (use code tags).

I'm the owner of the server (it is apache on mac osx leopard)

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /
on this server.</p>
</body></html>

thanks

You need to post the output of your process table showing the running httpd / apache processes and your file permissions.

what do you mean for "process table" ?
the error log file in apache ?

this are the permission of Sites folder (apache DocumentRoot)
drwxrwxrwx 9 aneuryzma staff 306 May 21 17:21 Sites

I would imaging you have directory indexes turned off in your configuration.

you would have:
Options -Indexes

and you would need to change it to

Options Indexes
