VPS Ubuntu 14.04LTS apache2.4 python cgi

Sat Apr 30 19:32:33 UTC 2016

Hi All,

Usually I would configure one VH (default one) and use that for
development / hosting my web based application, apache2 with
python+cgi.

Now I need to configure multiple VH on VPS. I also need to give access
to some developers across the city. They will log-in via ssh into that
user directory.

This Project / work directory where all html/cgi (python) scripts will
be - passtms directory.

I am getting a 403 Forbidden error on the browser. And I have been
trying to overcome this issue for the last one week. Project is also
getting delayed.

Please help me out in
1. configuring this VH (so that I can copy paste and create other later).

Thank you in Advance

Nitin
