Apache : client denied by server configuration for some local ressources - apache

Question

i have some troubles to install local website for development.
I have an "client denied by server configuration"' error for some local ressources like .png or .js
My website have following treepath :
website/files
website/app/local
website/app/share
My mainpage is in app/local and can access to files /files but i have 403 error for files in app/share.
I put "chmod -R 777 www-data" on full website directory so what's wrong ?
[SOLVING]I have another little problem : i can't access to my website with localhost/website but only with localhost/
I have reading some tutos and think my following configuration is right (my apache is 2.2) :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName julien.quai13.com
DocumentRoot /home/julien-quai13/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin julien#andcotransport.com
ServerName julien.quai13.com/andcotransport
DocumentRoot /home/julien-quai13/www/andcotransport
#<Directory />
# Options FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride All
#</Directory>
<Directory /home/julien-quai13/www/andcotransport>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And this my /etc/hosts :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 julien.quai13.com
127.0.1.1 julien-quai13
192.126.0.34 julien.quai13.com
Not very important but annoying, i always have problems when i switch of Wamp to Linux.
Thanks for helping (promise i stay on Linux this time ;)

Well, when using vhosts, if apache doesn't match the URL with any server name, it will serve the first one it comes to, if this is the first one, then localhost will map straight to /home/julien-quai13/www/andcotransport
You should set up a virtualhost for default with DocumentRoot /home/julien-quai13/www and add a Directory directive for this directory, then localhost/andcotransport will work.
Not sure if this is what you meant to write: chmod -R 777 www-data but this is wrong, commands should be chmod -R 755 /home/julien-quai13/www/andcotransport and chown -R julien-quai13:www-data /home/julien-quai13/www/andcotransport
But permissions wouldn't give you a client denied by server configuration error, this is down to allow being set incorrectly.
Also you have defined julien.quai13.com twice in your hosts file.. one points to 127.0.0.1 and another points to 192.126.0.34.. this may be another problem..
Otherwise i'd consider restructuring your vhosts.
Judging by your vhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName julien.quai13.com
DocumentRoot /home/julien-quai13/www
<Directory /home/julien-quai13/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
You don't actually need the second vhost unless its under a different domaing, like andcotransport.julien.quai13.com so, just use the default domain and pass everything to /andcotransport, if thats how you want to do it...
but make sure all your resources are going to /andcotransport/files and /andcotransport/app/share then this should work, unless you have an overriding ACL somewhere which is blocking directories.
