No, All I am getting are the 500 Forbidden errors. I understand what is causing them. What I am looking for is how to get the Apache webserver to work with Virtual Hosting. Because Apache is running as user-apache and group-apache, it cannot therefore access the folder /home/westpress/public_html because the folder is owned by user-westpress and group-westpress. Like wise with jsdzyn and teamtrailer. I can only get this working if I change user/group from apache/apache to westpress/westpress and then add westpress to group jsdzyn and teamtrailer and change permissions accordingly. But I have a problem running cgi scripts and suexec, where it expects apache to run as the same user who happens to own the scripts. This is very difficult in an environment where I have three different users/passwords running three different websites using one server. I am just wondering how ISP's can provide web hosting services to their thousands of users running one apache server. I have seen some configs which use a default type of httpd.conf, with includes for all the virtual containers. When I try something similar, then I get the 500 Forbidden errors. When I look at my own personally hosted website (who runs Psoft's Hsphere solution for webhosting) I see that they only run one instance of Apache with virtual host included containers. All of my directories and files are owned by cdaters and have the appropriate permissions of 644 or 755 respectively. So how can they do it, and I cannot? Maybe I am missing something? It is the same with my 'westpress' user on the server here at work that I have setup. 755 and 644 respectively, all owned by the 'westpress' user and group. When apache runs as 'apache' 500 Forbidden errors. When I change apache to run as 'westpress' everything runs just groovy!
