I’m at a loss what to do in response to the reply, below, from Bill
Cole.
I note that to the best of my knowledge, nothing changed as to the
attributes or permissions of any of the user doc folders listed in my
httpd-vhosts.conf file except as may have been done without my
knowledge in an update to macOS 11.3 or 11.4, or in case of some
change in the MacPorts files supporting apache — but I believe I’m
still using the very same configuration files, including httpd.conf,
httpd-vhosts.conf, and httpd-userdir.conf (and /private/etc/hosts) as
I have in the past!
1. What should I do with respect to extended attributes? I get:
[~] % ls -le Sites
total 32 [some results omitted from list]
drwxr-xr-x@ 23 me staff 736 Jul 31 2020 Math421Blog
drwxr-xr-x@ 92 me staff 2944 Apr 10 2015 MyHomePage
drwxr-xr-x 32 me staff 1024 Jun 12 15:32 RapidWeaver
drwxr-xr-x@ 20 me staff 640 Jun 17 10:23 html
drwxr-xr-x 10 me staff 320 Aug 27 2017 newsite
And:
[~] % ls -le Sites/MyHomePage
total 541576 [I show only a couple of the files & folders]
drwxr-xr-x@ 73 me staff 2336 Jan 31 2015 Math_127
drwxr-xr-x@ 146 me staff 4672 Jan 31 2015 Math_131
-rw-r--r--@ 1 me staff 8331 Apr 10 2015 index.html
-rw-r--r--@ 1 me staff 39890 Jun 2 2010 me.jpg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 me staff 695 Feb 24 2011 site.css
-rw-r--r--@ 1 me staff 1385 Feb 24 2011 style.css
That's fine as is. If extended ACLs were your issue, the 'e' option to
ls would have displayed them.
2. In the vhost-specific error log
/opt/local/var/log/apache2/me-MyHomePageerror_log I’m finding
entries like this:
[Thu Jun 17 15:17:10.509589 2021] [core:error] [pid 13543]
(13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:53851] AH00035: access to /
denied (filesystem path '/Users/me/Sites') because search permissions
are missing on a component of the path
[Thu Jun 17 15:17:10.551868 2021] [core:error] [pid 13543]
(13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:53851] AH00035: access to
/favicon.ico denied (filesystem path '/Users/me/Sites') because search
permissions are missing on a component of the path, referer:
http://myhomepage.local/
[Thu Jun 17 15:19:00.531386 2021] [core:error] [pid 13498]
(13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:53909] AH00035: access to /
denied (filesystem path '/Users/me/Sites') because search permissions
are missing on a component of the path
There's the critical clue!
Your home directory is probably not world-searchable. To eliminate the
reported error definitively:
sudo chmod a+x /Users /Users/me /Users/me/Sites
3. File httpd.conf includes the lines:
DocumentRoot "/opt/local/www/apache2/html"
<Directory "/opt/local/www/apache2/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
I don’t think that’s changed.
Looks good.
4. The errors are occurring with Opera as well as with Safari. I
don’t know if there’s any browser setting that’s upgrading http
to https; I am explicitly using the “http:” prefix in
“http://MyHomePage.local <http://myhomepage.local/>"
So that is probably not an issue

4 thoughts:
1. The '@' indicating the existence of extended attributes could be
overriding the '+' that is shown on files with extended ACLs, so any
level in the directory tree COULD have an ACL blocking the webserver
from reading the files or scanning the directories. Check with 'ls
-le'
to be sure. This would be a simple but unlikely cause of the problem.
2. Check the error logs for details of the failure. There is a
vhost-specific error log defined, but there should also be a
server-wide
error log which may contain illuminating entries.
3. Check the main httpd.conf for Directory or Location directives that
may be interfering with the Directory directives in the VirtualHost
definition.
4. Make sure you don't have anything automatically 'upgrading' you to
HTTPS. This can be in the server config or in a browser setting.

How about the permissions on the Sites folder?

For the Macports apache2 installation, I’m using a non-default
location for my web sites. The httpd.conf includes a
httpd-vhosts.conf file, and the latter includes entries such as:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/MyHomePage"
ServerName MyHomePage.local
ServerAlias www.MyHomePage.local <http://www.myhomepage.local/
<http://www.myhomepage.local/>>
ErrorLog "var/log/apache2/me-MyHomePageerror_log"
CustomLog "var/log/apache2/me-MyHomePage-access_log" common
<Directory /Users/me/Sites/MyHomePage>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And in my /private/etc/hosts I include the lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
127.0.0.1 me-html.local
127.0.0.1 MyHomePage.local
When I start apache and try to open the site MyHomePage.local, i get
error:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.
The permissions on /Users/me/Sites/MyHomePage are:
drwxr-xr-x@ 92 me staff 2944 Apr 10 2015 MyHomePage
and the permissions for /Users/me/Sites/MyHomePage/index.html are:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 me staff 8331 Apr 10 2015 index.html
What’s wrong?
