Hi. After many nights of research and a long fight with Leopard, I change the root folder of Apache succesfully. Now I test my sites inside a folder called 'www', inside other from de root of volume (root/folder/www/ here is the sites). After some time, I try to open a site from that folder and Apache returns 403, Forbidden - u dont have permission... How it is possible since I does not change anything else in Apache's ini files?

Does the www folder have read access for everyone? If the www user doesn't have the privileges to read the folder or its contents then you will get a 403.

Yes, but you give me an idea. I look at the previous folder and everyone was set to 'sem acesso' (no access, unvisible or something like this). I change to 'somente leitura' (reading only) and ... voilá: Apache is working again (in fact, it has been allways working, but with no access).

I think that some security upgrade modify the way the system alloy Apache read and show files and folders. 'Everyone' must have at list reading permission at root, or it will have no access to anything else either.

Thank you!
