Edit: If anyone has any comments or any idea whatsoever, please feel free to add your two cents. I would really appreciate any help on this matter, or any alternatives either. All I really need is a way to sync this folder with my desktop so I can develop a project on two machines in sync without having to use a non-local development solution. If I'm in the wrong section, let me know. Thanks.
I followed the instructions here to set up Apache and PHP http://echodittolabs.org/blog/2011/08/os-x-107-lion-development-native-mamp-mysql-installer
Everything worked great, I was able to access all my files and folders.
Then I decided to set an alias in my httpd-vhosts.conf and it worked great too. No problems here.
I decided to go the next step and sync my work-computer's php folder to my sites folder. At first this was no problem. Everything was working (including the alias), but after a while it just randomly stopped working.
I tried turning off and turning back on web-sharing in system preferences.
I tried chown'ing and chmod'ing everything. No go.
I tried the top two answers here and it didn't work either - 403 Forbidden Error on Mac OS X Localhost
I could not find anything in my Logs folder under Sites
I'm not sure what happened, but the last major change was that I set up the SugarSync folder. The weird thing to me, is that this was working at first, but then stopped working later. Any ideas on what's up? Kinda bummed out here after all the great success of mobile development for my work-desktop
I have some other questions too, but don't know if I should add it on to here or create a new one.
