title: AllowOverride for .htaccess on local machine giving 403 Forbidden
body: <p>I have a mod_rewrite I'd like to use locally on my mac but when I change my configuration to in my directory tag I get a 403 Forbidden error. I've tried all the other solutions around but no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe somebody will see something I am not...</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <p>httpd.conf</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Directory /&gt;
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  
  &lt;Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/"&gt;
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which is overridden by myusername.conf</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Directory /Users/adrianmaurer/Sites/www&gt;
      Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Virtual host file httpd-vhosts.conf</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
  DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents
  ServerName localhost
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      DocumentRoot /Users/adrianmaurer/Sites/www
      ServerName myserver.dev
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
