I setup Apache + PHP on Mac OS for development purposes and the localhost "site" works fine. When I try to setup a new Virtual Host (from these instructions) my site (from virtual host) returns 403.
The folder structure for the virtual hosts is:
/Users/kipill/Documents/workspace/sandbox/htdocs
In my configuration, the workspace folder will contain all of my virtual hosts and the sandbox folder my first virtual host that I was trying to set up.
I set up chmod 755 to every folder from lower level - htdocs up to Documents. I checked the permissions of every folder with stat -f %A foldername and this command on every folder and it returns 755, but my site still returns 403 forbidden. What else must I setup to achieve my goal?

Save yourself a headache and don’t attempt to muck around with system level Apache and PHP in macOS. Instead I highly recommend using MAMP and then do your virtual host adjustments in
