I'm trying to setup multiple local Drupal 7 site installations on my local machine.
Right now, I have a folder ~/Sites/drupal/7/{{various_drupal_sites}}
I'm looking to be able to access any of these sites at site1.drupal.local
, site2.drupal.local
, etc. The problem is that I'm getting a 403 permission denied both at drupal.local
and siteX.drupal.local
domains.
Here is my httpd.conf:
ServerRoot "/usr"

Your apache log is telling you that it can't find the DirectoryIndex
directive, so because directory listing is turned off you will get a 403 forbidden because index file is not set. You can add it here.

See if this helps.
Try adding the following to your Directory block in the vhosts file.

Think your httpd.conf differs on 'default' home directory. Still sounds like a permission issue. Turn on options +Indexes
maybe while testing.
