I am new to Linux servers



I have configured my apache virtual host with DocumentRoot /srv/www/places/httpdocs,
but when I try to access it through the browser I get :




You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.



If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.




and the log files shows :



[Fri Aug 09 11:43:15 2013] [error] [client 41.223.84.34] client denied by server configuration: /srv/www/htdocs/


yet /srv/www/htdocs/ does not not appear in my configuration file.

You probably need to set your documentroot in your Virtual Host config. The config files are usually located in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ (this might be a different location, depending on your linux distribution).



In the config files, you can add or change the config of the VirtualHosts. What you're looking for is a line that starts with DocumentRoot and change that to /srv/www/places/httpdocs/. Do mind the slash at the end of that line.



An example config would be:



<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com

# Indexes + Directory Root.
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /srv/www/places/httpdocs/

# Logfiles
ErrorLog /home/www/www.example.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/www/www.example.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>


Hope this helps.
