I just setup a new Fedora Core 9 box, running apache 2.2.8.

I then setup a basic virtual host config using NameVirtualHost *:80

My only virtual host looks like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxx
   DocumentRoot /home/domain/www
   ServerName domain.com
   ServerAlias www.domain.com
   ErrorLog /home/domain/logs/error_log
   CustomLog /home/domain/logs/access_log combined

   # NOTE: I added this later, doesn't change anything...
   <Directory "/home/domain/www">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all

   </Directory>  

</VirtualHost>

I've made sure my DirectoryIndex includes all possible index types, 

SELinux is disabled, Firewall is disabled, permissions on /home/domain 

are wide open for testing.  No matter what I try, I keep getting a 403 

Forbidden, and in the error log: (13)Permission denied: access to / 

denied

I've been reading around on this, but there doesn't seem to be any 

definitive answers... there seems to be consensus that apache 2.2.x 

has a bit more security by default, but it's not clear what needs to 

be changed to allow the virtual hosts to resolve properly.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Eben

 Definitely a linux permissions issue. I'm on Ubuntu where apache runs 

as user: www-data.  Check you permissions on  /home/domain/www and your 

folders below it.
