Apache 403 after configuring varnish

apache-2.2debugginghttp-status-code-403varnish

I just don't know where else to look and what else to do. I keep getting a 403 error on all my vhosts after setting varnish 3.0

Apacher log:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration:
/etc/apache2/htdocs

/etc/default/varnish:

DAEMON_OPTS="-a ip.ip.ip.ip:80 \
             -T localhost:6082 \
             -f /etc/varnish/main.domain.vcl \

             -s file,/var/lib/varnish/$INSTANCE/varnish_storage.bin,1G"
             #-s malloc,256m"

My vcl file: http://pastebin.com/axJ57kD8

So, any ideas what I could be missing?

Update

Just so you know, ports:

NameVirtualHost *:8000
Listen 8000

and <VirtualHost 205.13.12.12:8000>

Best Answer

You're sending requests to 127.0.0.1:8000, which the server is listening on but your virtual host is configured for 205.13.12.12:8000.

When a virtual host is not matched it will try and serve the default site which, from the error, looks like a DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/htdocs which might not have correct permissions, or exist, or be configured in httpd.conf correctly for access, whatever it is doesn't really matter unless you plan on using it at some stage.

Point Varnish at the interface IP 205.13.12.12
or
Configure your virtual host to work with 127.0.0.1
or
Use the _default_ special name in the same docco if this virtual host should be the default.
