I had rails 0.7 running fine with Apache under OS X.

I downloaded installed .0.8 everything else remains the same however  
now I keep getting 403 Forbidden error.

When I try to http://scuttlebug/

  I edited the /private/etc/httpd/users/helmutburri.conf

  <VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName scuttlebug
  DocumentRoot  
/Users/helmutburri/Developer/serverside/scuttlebug/scuttlebug/public/
  ErrorLog  
/Users/helmutburri/Developer/serverside/scuttlebug/scuttlebug/log/ 
apache.log

  <Directory  
/Users/helmutburri/Developer/serverside/scuttlebug/scuttlebug/public/>
  Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride all
  Allow from all
  Order allow,deny
  </Directory>
  </VirtualHost>

  and my /etc/hosts

  looks this way

  ##
  # Host Database
  #
  # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
  # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
  ##
  127.0.0.1 localhost
  255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
  ::1 localhost
  127.0.0.1 scuttlebug

  Then restarted Apache only to get the 403.

  Now my firewall was set to allow access to port 80 and even if I  
turned the firewall of it had not effect.

  All the folders have the correct permissions as it came from un  
tarring rails 0.8:
