virtual host problem

[vatzcar]

hi, i'm trying to run apache for my local network. my server is configured with two IP (192.168.0.3,192.168.0.210), no DNS is running. my DocumentRoot is '/home/www'. virtual hots are configures as:

[code]NameVirtualHost *:80[/code]

[code]<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName 192.168.0.210
    DocumentRoot "/home/www/mail.server"
    ErrorLog logs/mail.server.error_log
    CustomLog logs/mail.server.access_log common
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/www/mail.server/cgi-bin"
</VirtualHost>[/code]

now whenever i'm pointing my browser to '192.168.0.210' i'm geting an error: Forbidden; You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.

please help me to fix this problem. Thanks

Apache will be expecting this to point to a folder not a single file.  Somthing like DocumentRoot "/home/www/mail/" with files like index.html in the folder.  not sure what mail.server is? A script?

Im not sure if apache can handle strait IP's in the server name part either.  It takes this from the header.

mail.server is a folder. well, may be the slash has left off. i'm going to change the .conf file. Thanks for your help  :)

final thing what i'm getting is, when i'm commenting out the <VirtualHost> directive it's working fine, but enabling that making the problem. generating error 'Forbidden'.

Try checking anything in <directory> tags to see if its assigning permisions to special folders. . . (it may also be work renaming it mail_server)

Hope that helps.
