-This weekend I decided to arrange my hard drive in a way that I could have a 5GB partition with sinful Windows XP to play some games with the family. To do that, I bought a 1TB external hard drive to use as a Time Machine backup for the process. At the time, my disk was already partitioned for Ubuntu but since I didn't find it useful anymore, I replaced it for Windows.

-Well, the good thing is I can actually play some old games like Empire Earth and Counter-Strike with the cousins to have some fun. The bad news is my Apache server settings screwed up. Two things happened. <em>Number one: </em>http://localhost/~user was thrown a 403 Forbidden access. This problem is the result of the user configurations for the server whilst the reinstallation / upgrade of the system, they don't exist now. What you have to do is very simple. Go to /private/etc/apache2/users and create a file <em>yourshortusername.conf</em> and type this:
-
-<pre class="brush:bash"><Directory "/Users/shortusername/Sites/">
-Options Indexes MultiViews
-AllowOverride None
-Order allow,deny
-Allow from all
-</Directory></pre>
-
-Restart your server and you're ready to go!

-Number two: My virtual hosts blew away. I should have kept a record on how to do this in case I had to a reinstallation, I guess I can kick myself now. (I'm solving this as I write this post :P) Three steps:
-<ol>
- <li>Go to /private/etc/hosts and say you want to assign 127.0.0.1 to your alias, like this: 127.0.0.1 youralias</li>
- <li>Go to /private/etc/apache2 and uncomment the line that includes the virtual hosts configuration file. If you want to use PHP, you might want to uncomment the line that includes it as well.</li>
- <li>Finally, go to /private/etc/apache2/extra and edit the httpd-vhosts.conf mentioned on 2. and add this chunk of code:</li>
-</ol>
-<pre class='brush:bash'><VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
-DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/site/"
-ServerAlias yoursitename
-ServerName yoursitename
-</VirtualHost></pre>
-
-Restart your server and virtual hosts are up and running.
