I am setting up a site on my Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.4 (15E65) host machine for the first time, however I get a HTTP 403 forbidden error when accessing crmpicco.dev.

I tried changing the user that Apache is running, but that hasn't solved the issue.

Check the Apache error log. If you find messages that say 'client denied by server configuration' then you do not have the corresponding <Directory> block allowing Apache to serve files from /Users/crmpicco/Sites/crmpicco.co.uk/.

If the error log mentions (13) Permission denied, then it is the OS stopping Apache serving files from that directory (not the Apache configuration itself) and you should look at the permissions of all directories in the path. Remember Apache needs to be able to traverse the whole path, not just the last component.

If the whole path is ok, then you probably have some form of security software running preventing Apache from serving the files.
