Hi
I have installed Apache2 and PHP and want to have DOCUMENT_ROOT set to my a directory in my home folder, so I can write to the thing and test it at the same time. My idea is then to mirror the entire directory up to the actual www address, once I am happy with it. I am also interested in investigating the running of a web server, so there is no need to tell me I don't need to run one! It gives me a

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

message if I set it to a dir in my home though, even though that is an exact copy of what is there (and it works when set to default /var/www/html/). What am I doing wrong? I didn't want to be logged in as root to edit my webpages which is why I wanted to change in the first place...

I usually set up a dedicated partition, and mount it under /www. Look at adding your user to new groups, and use the group permissions to allow direct modify access to the relevant files.

The problem is not the modifying of the files, it is apache using it as documentroot.
