Apache2 VirtualHost giving "403 Forbidden"

i have strange effect on 10.11.1 doesn't occur on other mac running 10.10.5:

when add virtual host, no matter via different port or different host name, error msg:

quote

(13)permission denied: ... ah00035: access ... denied ... because search permissions missing on component of path

click expand...

here's how host declared:

code:

<virtualhost *:80>     documentroot "/development/mysite/public"     servername mysite.local     <directory "/development/mysite/public">         options         allowoverride         require granted     </directory> </virtualhost>

of course, path exists , readable (i.e. folder permissions 755 , files inside 644).
there no special acls set (checked "ls -lae").

however, if change path "/development/mysite/public" "/library/webserver/documents", works, i.e. no more permission errors.
same if move entire folder "/library/webserver/mysite" , change paths in config accordingly, if leave ownership of folder normal user , admin group (501:80).
and, said, same setup (same httpd.conf, same folder structure) works without issue on 10.10.5.

so, somehow, web server doesn't seem access files outside /library/webserver folder. wonder if that's part of new rootless changes, cannot find on web on particular issue.

have idea what's going on here , how make work?

 

i don't think have sip issue. /development doesn't sound directory sip care about. didn't have directory on machine. have sip enabled . root, created directory structure "/development/mysite/public". nothing seemed amiss. check make sure permissions same 10.10.5 machine each of component directories leading /development/mysite/public. if don't have execute permission on, say, mysite, won't able read files in /development/mysite/public though have 755 permission on public , 644 on files. other that, check apache support sites.
