I am running Apache 2.4.41 on Linux Mint 20.
My document root is home/www/.
I have a laptop also connected using Samba.
I would like to add a shared folder also (from the laptop) to the Document Root settings.
How do I do it without removing home/www/?
On your laptop, enable sharing of a folder. Lets say C:\LinuxShare.
On mint, install Samba to mount that folder. Mount it on /mnt/LinuxShare.
When that works...
Identify the user running your Apache. You can start is and do ps -ef | grep httpd, it will show you the user. Or look in httpd.conf, directive User.
Configure the permissions on /mnt/LinuxShare so that the user identified in 3) can read files under that directory. You could use a group, or others permissions (for home it's ok, for corporate network, do not use others!).
When you have validated that the Apache user can read files under /mnt/LinuxShare
In your VirtualHost, add Alias /wwwpc /mnt/LinuxShare
Also add a <Directory /mnt/LinuxShare> section to allow reading that directory.
Restart Apache
on the laptop, put an HTML file (lets say SOMEPAGE.html) in C:\LinuxShare. Make sure you can see it on mint under /mnt/LinuxShare.
on mint, start a browser and try http://localhost/wwwpc/SOMEPAGE.html. You should see the page.
on the laptop, start a browser and try http://THE_IP_OF_THE_MINT/wwwpc/SOMEPAGE.html. Remember that Apache runs on mint, so on the laptop you cannot access it via localhost.

Running wordpress locally on a centOS 7 server running the latest apache, PHPmyadmin and mariadb-server.
IP/wordpress and IP/phpmyadmin on systems within the local network yields "403 forbidden" "you dont have permission to access (directory) on this server."
How can I fix this to allow the website to be seen on the public internet?
Could be a lot of things.
In your main Apache configuration file (e.g. /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on Arch Linux), confirm your DocumentRoot path. The files you want to serve must reside there, or in sub-directories from there (If not, you might want to use an Alias to specify another path). Since you call IP/wordpress and IP/phpmyadmin, then you probably have directories called wordpress and phpmyadmin under your DocumentRoot path.
You also want to check the Directory groups in your Apache configuration file. Under those, the main culprit would be the Require directive set to all denied or something else too much restrictive like ip your_ip.
Finally, PHP can restrict path access with the open_basedir directive. Look for it in your php configuration file (e.g. /etc/php/php.ini on Arch Linux). If the line is commented, you're fine. But if a path is specified, your wordpress and phpmyadmin files must reside there.
Depending on your setup, any directive mentioned above could be in another Apache configuration file (e.g. /etc/httpd/conf/extra/* on Arch Linux).
Take a look at Apache and PHP online documentation for information about those directives.
Probably there is an issue with your directory privileges.
Use the follwing command to check it:
cd your_site_directory
ls -l
You can have a look to have a better understanding on directory privileges here.
As mentioned here apache runs under "apache" user.
Have a look at this post here to fix the issue.
All files should belong at least to apache group. To do it you can use
cd your_site_directory
chgrp -R apache ./*
Basically I've got a VPS setup but I incorrectly set the hostname. I left it for a while and it was fine, installed zpanel etc and now it's a 'web host' and everything was fine. Now I want to change the hostname so I logged into the hosting companies control panel for the server and changed the hostname.
The original and the new hostname are in the format of xxx.yyy.com. So nothing happend and I could still reach the zpanel login page via the 'old' host name even though in the hosting companies control panel it said it had changed.
For ease of explanation, we shall say my old hostname was xyz.example-domain.com and my new is server.another-domain.com. Both domains are controlled within this installation of zpanel.
Anyway. I deleted the dns entry for "xyz" on example-domain and, as you would expect, if you go to xyz.example-domain.com you get nothing. I created a dns A record for server.another-domain.com but now all you get is the default apache 'welcome to your server' page. To get to zpanel login, you need the IP address.
SO my question is, do I need to do something else? It seems that I need to change where this zpanel login page is getting displayed so that it can be server.another-domain.com. I'm guessing there is some file somewhere that I need to edit but I don't know what one and "the internet" isn't really helping as all I find is 'change the host name in the hosting companies control panel' which I've done.
PS It is an apache 2 server running CentOS 6
Take a look at your Apache configuration located in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. If you intend on running multiple domains off the same host, you'll need to setup Virtual Hosts. You'll see a detailed explanation of those settings toward the bottom of your configuration file.
Depending on where you've located your files, you'll want to set your DocumentRoot accordingly for each of your Virtual Hosts, and that will instruct Apache to look for the files in the proper places. By default, I believe it looks in /var/www.
NOTE: You will need to restart Apache or reload configurations whenever you alter your configuration file. You can do this by running either one of the following commands (as root):
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
/etc/init.d/httpd reload
Go to /etc/zpanel/panel/
rename: index.php -->panel.php (or any other name).
Then create index.php and let it in blank (or write a welcome message)
Finally enter to your zpanel like this: http://www.yourIP/panel.php
Works fine!
Is not necessary change any port
I'm newbie in the web development, and I'm trying to make a website. So, my website works fine on the server but not on my own (Apache). My sources are in ~/public_html/. The problem is I don't have permissions on the sub/sub directory, I mean, when it's a directory, it works fine, when it's directory in a directory, it doesn't. (403 Forbidden). I don't change my default Apache configuration excluding for include mysql and php.
All my directories have the same permissions. Maybe I need to configure something for that?
Thanks
I used this little script found at this link http://boomshadow.net/tech/fixes/fixperms-script/
Fixperms – for one single user
To use the fixperms script, simply log into your server as root, wget the file from our server, then run it. Type in the cPanel username and it will run only for that particular account.
It does not matter which directory you are in when you run fixperms. You can be in the user’s home directory, the server root, etc. The script will not affect anything outside of the particular user’s folder.
Should be done in SSH
root#example [~]# wget boomshadow.net/tools-utils/fixperms.sh
root#example [~]# sh ./fixperms.sh -a USER-NAME
Fixperms – for all of the users
If you would like fix the permissions for every user on your cPanel server, simply use the ‘-all’ option:
root#example [~]# wget boomshadow.net/tools-utils/fixperms.sh
root#example [~]#sh ./fixperms.sh -all
Maybe it is not a right channel to ask this question but I donot know where to ask.
I want to know how to run html file with apache on my ubuntu. I have written program with javascript and a html file and I want to run it via apache. I could not find htdocs folder in to copy my files there beside that I do not have permission to do that in ubuntu. My apache is installed in /usr/share/apache2.
When I write http://localhost it says:
It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
but I do not know where to add the contents.
any help.
The default folder that it serves the HTML files from is /var/www.
For example, /var/www/test.html would be http://localhost/test.html.
In my case where I have installed and running the Apache 2 and if I type localhost/ into the browser it opens the Apache 2 Ubuntu default Page.
Now what I did was:
Suppose your HTML webpage Demo.html is located in the Website directory then copy the HTML page using one of the commands:
:~$ cp ~/Website/Demo.html /var/www/html
If this command does not work then try with the following command:
:~$ sudo cp ~/Website/Demo.html /var/www/html
And then open your browser and type this the browser search bar:
localhost/Demo.html
It will open the copied Demo.html.
Also if you want to access this hosted webpage from the outside of the machine where Apache 2 is running then use it's external IP address instead of localhost as follows:
ExternalIP/Demo.html
My friend introduce me Linode and register.com, so I am playing with it now. I already get a domain name, while on my Linode server I am trying to set up a basic webpage so I can start to use it for my personal website. I'm following http://library.linode.com/hosting-website#sph_web-server to set up.
Here's the question, I made a testsite folder on my linode server, and a /etc/apache2/sites-available/testsite file which can be called at sudo a2ensite testsite command. (All of these are part of the tutorial.) But when I wish to switch the content for that website, I created a testsite1 and a /etc/apache2/sites-available/testsite1, then I do sudo a2ensite testsite1, but I don't know how to let the apache read the content from my testsite1 folder instead of testsite folder. The way I did that is I try sudo a2dissite testsite, so then the content in testsite1 can be read. But I hope there is better way to do that. Also I've heard apache2 can handle multiple server at the same time. How to assign which server load which folder on my linux machine? (For example, if I have abc.net and efg.net, I already link both of them to my linode server, how can I let abc.net go to read the abc folder in my linux server, while the efg.net load my efg folder?) Thanks.
You need to edit the httpd.conf file usually found in /etc/apache2/conf. Then edit the httpd.conf file and look for "Document Root" setting in this file. Change it to /etc/apache2/sites-available/testsite1 and then restart apache: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
