So I am using digital ocean to host my ruby on rails application
I used this tutorial on how to deploy it: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-rails-app-with-passenger-and-apache-on-ubuntu-14-04
After completing it I have tried to access my server through its IP address and it gives me a 403 Access Denied Error and checking the apache error log I find the following message:
AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/appname, referer: http://IPADDRESS/
My /etc/apache2/sites-available/appname.conf files is as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port t$
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
ServerName www.peerparking.com
ServerAlias www.peerparking.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/peerparking/peerparking/peerparking/public
RailsEnv development
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn

# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

My ruby on rails app is located at /username/home/appname/appname/appname
Dont ask why I have three successive folders named the same, I messed up pulling from my repository
