 Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 10:47 pm Post subject: Apache Problem: Does anyone have an answer? |
 |
|
Well... I recently re-imaged my 1.4 gentoo machine which was lying around. I finished imaging it with everything to the latest stable packages, but there seems to be a problem with Apache. Never mind the missing symlink Log file.
The apache runs just fine and has no problem! (Ofcourse after the long minutes of searching around for a fix). I can eaily browse the htdocs folder when there are only files. (e.g. index.html, index.php, test.php, etc.)
Now the moment I create a folder within the /var/www/localhost/htdocs folder, I can't browse to anything! and I get the:
| Quote: | Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server. |
I have tried Chown/ing or Chmod/ing the test folder which I created, but I still can't browse to the folders.
I normally use Vhosts for my hosting needs, and this little bug is killing me!!! Does anybody know how to fix this? I have looked all over the forums, and I can't find the answer to this problem. |

| Your apache(2).conf file would probably be helpful. |

# multiple configurations out-of-the-box, this allows us to do that
# in the future easily. (PERLPROXIED *ahem*)

#CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/apache2splitlogfile" vhost env=VLOG

| Okay well I see no mentioning of VirtualHosts in there so can I assume you set it up in /etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/vhosts.conf can I see that file? |

| Code: | ################# vhosts.conf
#This is where we store the VirtualHosts configuration.
#
#Since Apache 1.3.19, we modified the setup to include some nice tricks:
#
#- Added SuExecUserGroup [user] [group] directive so VirtualHosts now work with
# suexec directive. If set, Apache will run all cgi scripts under that
# user and group (provided the uid and gid are > 1000 for security). The
# directories and cgi files *must* belong to that user/group for the
# feature to work
#- We added the Setenv VLOG directive. This works in conjunction with
# the CustomLog in commonapache2.conf. When Setenv VLOG is set, apache will
# create a /var/log/apache2/VLOG-YYYY-MM-<ServerName>.log instead of logging
# to access_log. Use this instead of defining a special logfile for
# each vhost, otherwise you eat up file descriptors.
#- You can also specify a path for the VLOG for each Vhost, for example,
# to place the logs in each user's directory. However, if you want to
# use the file for accounting, place it in a directory owned by root,
# otherwise the user will be able to erase it.
#- I suggest only including the ErrorLog *only* if the vhost will use
# cgi scripts. Again, it saves file descriptors!

Try throwing this in after you define your Virtual host
| Code: |
<Directory />
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
|
Or putting a properly setup .htaccess file in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/Test |

I will try to do that, but I have never had this problem before. This is the first time ever that Apache is playing hard to get with me.  |

| Newer versions of Apache moved things over to /usr/lib/apache, I believe. Might want to check stuff out there. |

| I am still having the same problem. And I believe /usr/lib/apache is the same thing as /etc/apache/conf. I didn't check but I think it is a symlink. |

When ever this has happend to me it is alway because I didn't have the below for the directory out of the document root. Notice that there is a <Direcotry> tag for the document root allowing permission. Copy that format for the one you can access then put the premissions on the files back to how they should be.
<Directory /to/my/dir/out/of/the/root>
etc.etc.etc.etc.
</Directory>
Hope it helps

Dang, I just read your question better. None of this should apply as it is in the document root. It should be all file permissions. That or you you do what happens to me and mess up the config file in desperation.
permission of 755 on directorys and 644 for files.
hope it helps |

Well to be honest with you, Portage has been a mess in the past month. Most packages are pain to work with. They are all either missing symlinks, or an option which they used to have. Anyways, I have tried any type of permissioning command that there is out there. Still no luck.  |

Adding this to your commonapache.conf file will allow indexed listings of a the directory called "somedirectory" if your webroot is /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
| Code: |
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/somedirectory>
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymlinks
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

I should probably give a little bit more info on this. Apache2 protects directorys on the webserver a little more strictly than apache 1.3 does. Apache2 makes very good use of .htaccess files within directories. The above post I made is one way of allowing access to a directory in your webroot. Of course the folders should be chown'd by apache, but all the chowning and and chmoding in the world isn't going to help with apache2 and directory permissions. Just remember all this is done with .htaccess and commonapache.conf  |

I am officially at the state of confusion. I cannot believe a small problem like this has become such a head scratcher! Even that didn't work. Feel free to give any suggestions. I am willing to try anything. No documentation seems to work anymore.
Note: I should point out that I have been using Apache2 since the beggining of its existince, and I have never had this problem before. |

When I looked into /var/log/apache2/error_log I get the following:
| Code: | | [Tue Jan 25 20:05:36 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ |
How can I disable this so called "Rule"? |

If that were my machine I would check the basic set of rules for the webroot directory located in commonapache.conf. i.e.
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs>
some crap here keeping it from working
</Directory>
A declaration such as this ANYWHERE in the commonapache.conf file will override anything else you right in to try and give permission. I would suggest finding and changing this.
If that doesn't work, throw the machine out the window. It eases the stress. (for the moment) I'm out of ideas.  |

I think I would have to go with your last comment. I just wish I didn't live in a condo. Then I could have said good bye to it with passion!  |

| I just emerged apache on a new machine. I have vhosts as one of my USE flags, but when I tried emerge -av apache, unlike the times before it didn't associate the vhosts flag as one of the options which apache's compile relates to. Why is that? Does anyone have a fix for this? cause I think this is where my problem originates from. |

Hi
I have had the same problem. To solve it:
edit /etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf
find the line
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs>
and change the line to new document root.
I hope it helps. |

Apache has no "vhosts" flag.

You need to enable

LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
|
in apache2.conf and you really need to read the fine docs at Apache website...  |
