Apache 2.0.49 Issue(s)

Spaz17 · n00b Joined: 01 Jan 2004 Posts: 41 Location: /home/spaz

I recently formatted my web server (I'm still trying to figure out why), and when I reinstalled Gentoo, I emerged Apache 2.0.49. I had been running 2.0.48 on a similar Gentoo installation earlier.

I'm having two errors with Apache now:

1.) I can only restart the service once.

Your problem is that for it to process the "Order" and "Allow" parts of your <Directory> section below, it has to have the module mod_access loaded. I would check to confirm that this is loading correctly and or not erroring out.

What errors are in your access_log and error_log when attempting to view the DocumentRoot or VirtualHost directory?

If the URL that you are trying to access is your main DocumentRoot, then check your logs directory, if its a VirtualHost then you might have an alternative log file/directory specifed for that VirtualHost in which case you would have to check there.

I found that I was better off leaving most options unchanged in commonapache2.conf and apache2.conf -> and then creating a virtual host for any sites on my domain.

The Important bits are:

I've done as shown above and tried the VirtualHosts.

Still no luck.

I have all my hosted files on a FAT32 partition that I dual boot WinXP from and it seems to me that this could be a problem with the permissions set in fstab or something?

I tried the chmod 777 /mnt/windows/htdocs

But it still gives me 403.

Igot curious about those fstab permissions and took a look around. Found a fstab tag gid=users, uid=0000, these did the trick. Apache and mySQL now have no problem accessing the files.

I am also experiencing the same issue (#1).

I had some issues like this with apache 2 and it ended resolving the problem by adding apache to the users group and also making sure the docroot and virtual host root was owned by 'root'.

Might want to give this a try.

I'm back.

I was away for a while. Thanks for stealing me thread

I resolved my first issue, but I don't remember how, since it was such a long time ago.

However, I'm still having issues trying to actually serve my files. I can only do so out of the default /var/www/localhost/htdocs directory. When I change the DocumentRoot in my apache2.conf file, I get that forbidden error. The permission of the folder I change it to are the same as that of htdocs.

Ideas?

Spaz17, you are most likely getting the 403 errors because Apache does not have permission to access the contents of the OS directory /var/www/html/spazticenterprises.com (The / in the 403 error refers to the document root not the real root). Unless you have specifically allowed it, the default entries in commonapache.conf disallow it. The disallowing entry looks like:

Wow, I swear I posted a response to this a long time ago.

Well, thanks Chris W, that's what it was. It's weird that I've never had to do that before, though.

But my first error seems to still be appearing, though.

After stopping Apache:

Does Apache _really_ stop if you use:

Just incase anyone is wondering how I solved my issue of serving Apache2 from FAT32. I had to add gid=users, umask=0000 to fstab.

Help!

..now that thats taken care of.

I was running on FreeBSD for months, and then decided to migrate to Gentoo. Very good move.. BUT I can't seem to get VirtualHosts working under Gentoo. FreeBSD was simple, installed apache2 and set it up, boom, done. Worked fine. But Gentoo.. I dunno whats goin on. in using the vhosts include, or putting my virtualhosts right in apache2.conf I either get.. Permissioned denied trying to access / on this server also there was an error in the error document handling etc etc.. OR I just keep getting the default htdocs directory for all addresses. www.* test.* whatever.domain.com Any suggestions?
