 Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 9:05 am Post subject: Apache2 directory permissions are messed up |
 |
|
Hello all,
I've been working on starting up a web/email server and I accidentally messed up the directory permissions in /var/www/localhost/htdocs so when I try to access the webpage I get a 403 Forbidden error. Here are the directory permissions:
/var/www/localhost
| Code: |
mail localhost # ls -la
total 24

Anybody have any good ideas on how I should reset the permissions? Or to what they should be set?
Thanks! |

First you should find out, what user/group your apache uses. You can look this up in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (if apache is installed via ebuild).
after that you should run
| Code: | | chown -R [user]:[group] /var/www/localhost/htdocs |
to reset all the permissions you could do the following.
But I must warn you that I do not know what kind of software you have installed inside of htdocs and what permissions are needed. In general, you should get some error messages that tell you where you need to tweak your permissions afterwards.
As root, of course 
| Code: |
chmod -R 000 /var/www/localhost/htdocs
chmod -R ug+rX /var/www/localhost/htdocs
|
From what I know about squirrelmail, you'll then need to run:
| Code: |
chmod ug+x /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mail/configure
chmod -R ug+w /var/www/localhost/htdocs/data
|
Phpmyadmin should run without additional permissions.
The rest is up to you 
regards

Well, it turned out that the problem was with phpBB which was installed as well. As soon as I unemerged phpBB and restarted Apache2 everything started working fine.
So now thats fixed, anybody know of a good how-to for installing phpBB? I did a search on Gentoo-Wiki for phpBB but there are no entries. The documentation on the phpBB website isn't that great because it assumes you have it installed and can point the browser to the configuration page. Also, will phpBB and Squirrelmail work together if running on the same server? Here's my setup:
Web Server - Apache
E-mail - Postfix/Courier-imap
SQL Database - PostgreSQL
Webmail - Squirrelmail
I would very much like to have phpBB installed as well. Any suggestions? |

I just did
| Code: |
emerge apache php phpBB
|
and my permissions look like this
| Code: |
localhost ~ # ls -l /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpBB/

if I tell the webbrowser to give me http://localhost/phpBB/ everything works fine.

| Which database software are you using for phpBB? I already have PostgreSQL installed which I use with Postfix for my e-mail server. I want to have my e-mail and web server running on the same box. Can I add on to my existing database and use it for phpBB? |

I am not using phpBB, I just emerged it to show you the permissions.
As phpBB supports PosgreSQL (http://www.phpbb.com/about/features/#data-management) there should be no problem to use your exisitng database system.
If this is an Internet Mailserver, be so kind and run an relay test (http://www.abuse.net/relay.html) on it, just enter your hostname and hit "test for relay"

If I can use my existing database with phpBB, how do I incorporate it into my existing database?
Also, when I go to install phpBB thru http://localhost/phpBB/install/index.php, it tells me that my database was not created in UNICODE or UTF8 and that I should trying installing with a database in UNICODE or UTF8 encoding. How do I get past this without messing up the database that Postfix uses? |

| I don't know about the other packages, but there's a known issue with PostfixAdmin 2.1.0-r1 - You can fix this by using 2.1.0 (there's no code differences between the two - just a minor dependency setup change that as far as I can tell won't affect most users) |
