I am trying to set up an Apache VirtualHost on an Ubuntu 13.10 EC2 instance that will serve up media documents from a directory old-school-style. There is an existing VirtualHost which is handling a ProxyPass well enough, and the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName media.ccachicago.org
    ServerAlias media.ccachicago.pragmatometer.com
    DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/ccachicago/media
    <Directory "/home/ubuntu/ccachicago/media">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        #Order deny,allow
        #Deny from all
        #Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
</VirtualHost>

media.ccachicago.pragmatometer.com/css/style.css is getting the following 403 error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at media.ccachicago.pragmatometer.com Port 80

I've checked file permissions several ways, and as nobody I can cat /home/ubuntu/ccachicago/media/css/style.css, but I've only gotten a 403 on trying to access this VirtualHost. I've also checked that the <Directory> permissions above will allow media access to any client.

What else could I be doing that would stop the VirtualHost to serve up static media content as desired? The machine is a new Ubuntu 13.10 Amazon EC2 instance, and only has VirtualHosts, contents, etc. from the new project.

I needed to replace:

Order deny, allow
Deny from all
Allow from 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 ::1/128

with:

Require all granted
