[Wylug-help] configuring LAMP

[nigel]

Thanks James

ls -ld /home/nigel gives
drwxrw-rw- 40 nigel nigel 4096 Nov  4 10:59 /home/nigel
and
ls -ld /home/nigel/Documents gives
drwxrw-rw- 28 nigel nigel 4096 Oct 28 08:22 /home/nigel/Documents
and
ls -ld /home/nigel/Documents/local gives
drwxrw-rw- 12 nigel nigel 4096 Jun 24 21:03 /home/nigel/Documents/local

I have changed a file called mylocal.conf
in /etc/apache2/sites-available to read
DocumentRoot /home/nigel/Documents/local
and
Directory /home/nigel/Documents/local/

I have used sudo a2dissite default && sudo a2ensite mylocal (I read this
at
http://www.ajopaul.com/2010/05/01/ubuntu-apache2-change-default-documentroot-varwww/).

Still getting 403.

Thanks
Nigel
