Mac Leopard Server Apache Permission Denied

I’ve setup the web server successfully on Mac Leopard Server and sites work fine within the DocumentRoot directory. I have mounted a volume which has restricted access to users within a group.

I would like to point the web server to directories within this volume. Can I add the user the web service is using to the group that has access to this Volume, if so: how do I find out what the user is?

I can confirm the web server is pointing to the right directory as log files show the full directory path. When you access the site’s URL, it shows Access Forbidden.

Answer

Problem was due to the full path (including the parent folder and it’s children) didn’t have appropriate permissions.
