I'm trying to configure Apache to work with Symfony in my Macbook Pro. I Have installed Lion OSX.

  1. I uncommented the line Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf on /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.
  2. I configured Apache by editing the /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf. and adding the following:

::

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *.80>
  ServerName localhost
  DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "/Users/luiscberrocal/Documents/dev/lion_test/web"
  ServerName lion.localhost
<Directory "/Users/luiscberrocal/Documents/dev/lion_test/web">
   Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

3. Added the following to /private/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 lion.localhost

Now when I access http://localhost/test.php I get the following message

Forbidden

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

Apache/2.2.20 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.3.6 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80

I already tried:

chmod 777 test.php

chmod +x test.php 

I get the same message if I try to access http://lion.localhost/

I opened the /var/log/apache2/error_log and this is what I found relevant:

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
