Virtual Host on Apache 2.4 on Linux

Question

I'm trying to create a virtual host that have path to user directory like this /home/user1/dev

My *.conf file is it /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.conf, like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mysite
    DocumentRoot /home/user1/dev
    ServerAlias mysite
    <Directory /home/user1/dev>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
   </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

I add group www-data to directory /home/user1/dev and user1 belong to group www-data too.

Also I add to /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 mysite mysite

But I get 403 Forbidden

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

I'm using

Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)
Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 (jessie)

ls -la /home/user1/dev

drwxrws---  5 user1 www-data 4096 dic  2 01:53 .
drwxr-x--- 99 user1 user1   4096 dic  2 03:49 ..
-rwxrwx---  1 user1 www-data   54 feb 27  2014 index.html
-rwxrwx---  1 user1 www-data   23 dic  2 01:53 index.php

Any help or other suggestion to point path to user directory?

Answer 1

search permissions are missing on a component of the path

There's your answer. Some component of /home/omixam/localhost_omixam is missing o+x (or g+x if the group is www-data). Fix that, problem solved.
