php not working after apache directory change

Question

I have a dev box running and i changed the path of the vhost from /home/username/www to /home/username/public_html.

Retarted apache and now the site is giving me a 403 when i visit the site and php isnt working now either.

The server is centos 5.5 x64, php is 5.3.5

Any help is appriciated.

Cheers.

Paste your complete VirtualHost here. – Suku Mar 31 '11 at 14:57 — Suku, Mar 31 '11 at 14:57

I am referring the portions between "

<VirtualHost 10.0.2.8:80>

and

</VirtualHost>

Document root and "Directory" directive are different.

DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
<Directory /home/mobile/www>

Make that same.

Also make sure that there is at least one file in DocumentRoot with any of the following name

index.html index.htm index.php index.php4 index.php5

Check acccess permission to this folder and to parent folder. Drfault permission to user's homedir in CentOS is 700 (rwx for owner, no access to any other user).

@Paul: I did chmod 0777 /home/username/, no luck – Kyle Hudson Mar 31 '11 at 14:58
@Kyle Hudson: *ouch*, please do not do that unless you do not care about the safety of your server and others. 777 means that anyone can read and write to it. – Lekensteyn Mar 31 '11 at 15:03
@Lekensteyn: It was only a temp measure to ensure it wasn't a simple permissions error. I will restore the permissions when this issue is resolved. Thanks for the concern :) – Kyle Hudson Mar 31 '11 at 15:09
@Kyle Hudson: You said you've chmodded /home/username to 777. That's not recursive, have you tried `chmod +rx /home/username/public_html`? – Lekensteyn Mar 31 '11 at 15:14
@lekensteyn: No change – Kyle Hudson Mar 31 '11 at 15:16
@Kyle Hudson: what does your Apache error logs say? – Lekensteyn Mar 31 '11 at 15:18

@Kyle - check both error and acces logs. Next check if SELinux enabled (in /etc/selinux/config) – Paul Rudnitskiy Mar 31 '11 at 15:31
@Paul: access log: https://gist.github.com/896576, error_log: https://gist.github.com/896565. SELinux is disabled. – Kyle Hudson Mar 31 '11 at 15:34
