I'm running httpd on fedora server 35 and want to use it to serve files on my local network. It works fine for files stored under the /var/www/html directory directly (e.g. /var/www/html/videos/video.mp4 can be accessed with http://IP/videos/video.mp4 on any local device).
I want to serve files stored in other locations in the file system. My plan was to create symbolic links to those locations. When I do that, I run into forbidden errors when trying to access the files (e.g. A video file /files/videos/video.mp4 linked with a sym link /var/www/html/videos-link -> /files/videos/ so that I would (theoretically) access it with http://IP/videos-link/video.mp4
I can navigate to http://IP/videos-link fine (an Index of DIRECTORY page, but no files are listed), but trying to access the file (http://IP/videos-link/video.mp4) gives me 403 forbidden.
My config (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) looks like this (it's a bit messy since I've been trying to fix this myself):
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
...
<Directory "/var/www">
Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
...
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
...
<Directory "/files/videos">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
In attempts to make it work I've made sure the sym link and all the directories have the same owner and that their all 777 so ownership/read perms shouldn't be an issue. Would greatly appreciate some help, thanks.
My issue was with SELinux. To get it working immediately I was able to set SELinux to permissive mode with
# setenforce 0
That refreshes on boot and is probably insecure, so the permanent fix (to just let httpd through) would be:
# semanage permissive -a httpd_t
More details on SELinux in Fedora can be found here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/getting-started-with-selinux/
I have followed a few answers that told me to change the DocumentRoot and Directory
This is my current httpd.conf for xampp 7.2.5
ServerRoot "/opt/lampp"
DocumentRoot "~/Code/php-xampp"
<Directory "~/Code/php-xampp">
# comments removed for readability
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
When is start the Apache Web Server from xampp gui interface, it gives the following error
Starting Apache Web Server...
Exit code: 8
Stdout:
apache config test fails, aborting
Stderr:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 229 of /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot '/opt/lampp/~/Code/php-xampp' is not a directory, or is not readable
Why is the DocumentRoot being appended to the ServerRoot, this was working before i restarted my computer.
I have a CentOS 7 WSGI enables Apache Httpd server (on a VirtualBox machine) and it serves my developing Flask site at http://www.myflask.com on port 80.
Since I can't debug there (even if I tried everything I could), like I can on a local version set in a virutalenv at http://127.0.0.1:5000, I was trying to do this:
setting up a virtualenv (with flask installed) on the VB server, called myflaskv (/var/www/myflaskv)
putting myflask dir into myflaskv (/var/www/myflaskv/myflask)
I did end with the following httpd.conf virtual host section:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myflaskv/myflask/index.wsgi
ServerName www.myflask.com:80
</VirtualHost>
I can load the page http://www.myflask.com (even with virtualenv activated) but I can't load the page http://www.myflask.com:5000 as I would suppose to debug.
So I tried to add a virtualhost on port 5000:
<VirtualHost *:5000>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myflaskv/myflask/index.wsgi
ServerName www.myflaskv.com:5000
</VirtualHost>
supposing that this way I could load http://www.myfaskv.com, and instead I can't (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
By the way I temporarly disactivated ip-tables and se-linux.
So is there a way to load from browser the 127.0.0.1:5000 ip address of a remote host?
Or there is a better way to debug flask in an wsgi apache dev environment?
If you want to access the url from outside the box, you will have to run the server at 0.0.0.0:5000.
The url http://127.0.0.1:5000 cannot be accessed from outside the box you are running it in.
When you use wsgi to access your app, the error messages and stack traces are written to the web server error log, by default at /var/log/apache2/error.log. You don't need to use the virtualenv web server. Just write any debug output you need to a local log file (if you have debugging input you want to print) and look for the stack traces in the apache error log.
I have CentOS 6.1 server and I installed apache 2.2.15 on it.
Now When I try to access it from another pc (windows 7) from IE (http:/// (=centos ip)) I get the "You don't have permission to access / on this server." error. I even created phpinfo.php file with content of "" on "var/www/html" and when I try to access it by using "http://*/phpinfo.php" in IE, I get not found error. What should I do?
my httpd.conf for directiry is like this:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Edit httpd.conf file, which is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Add the below code.
<Directory "/">
#Options FollowSymLinks
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/">
#Options FollowSymLinks
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
</Directory>
After the line no. 555 (in my case) . Check for the file permissions and restart the server.
service httpd restart
Now, it will work . Still you are facing the same problem, disable the seLinux in /etc/selinux/config change SELINUX=disabled and restart the server as mentioned above and try it.
Hope this helps
Set SELinux in Permissive Mode using the command below:
setenforce 0;
Check file permissions of the /var/www/html and the ALLOW directive in your apache conf
Make sure all files are readable by the webserver and the allow directive is like
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
if you can see files then consider sorting the directive to be more restrictive
Fist check that apache is running. service httpd restart for restarting
CentOS 6 comes with SELinux activated, so, either change the policy or disabled it by editing /etc/sysconfig/selinux setting SELINUX=disabled. Then restart
Then check locally (from centos) if apache is working.
Try to use the following:
chmod +rx /home/*
If you set SELinux in permissive mode (command setenforce 0) and it works (worked for me) then you can run restorecon (sudo restorecon -Rv /var/www/html/) which set the correct context to the files in Apache directory permanently because setenforce is temporal. The context for Apache is httpd_sys_content_t and you can verify it running the command ls -Z /var/www/html/ that outputs something like:
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 index.html
In case the file does not have the right context, appear something like this:
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tests
Hope it can help you.
PD: excuse me my English
Create index.html or index.php file in root directory (in your case - /var/www/html, as #jabaldonedo mentioned)
Right click your www folder and click on properties. Navigate to permissions and change all to read and write then click on "Apply permission to enclosed files" and your are done!!
Maybe its too late but this will definitely help some other person
Check the apache User and Group setting in the httpd.conf. It should default to apache on AMI/RedHat or www-data on Debian.
grep '^Group\|^User' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Then add the apache user to the group setting of your site's root directory.
sudo usermod -a -G <your-site-root-dir-group> apache
try to edit httpd.conf
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache24/cgi-bin">

For CentOS 8 your /etc/httpd/conf.d/awstats.conf file needs to look like this and you need to stick in your IP address and restart your httpd service unless you want to whole world to have access to it!
#
# Directives to add to your Apache conf file to allow use of AWStats as a CGI.
# Note that path "/usr/share/awstats/" must reflect your AWStats install path.
#

Alias /awstatsicons "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/icon/"
ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/"
#
# This is to permit URL access to scripts/files in AWStats directory.

Remember that if you IP address changes you need to update the file and restart the httpd server. BTW you can see your ip address as it looks from the outside by simply googling "my ip"

I tried to install symfony1.4 on window-XP with xamp
i install symfony and create project. Helloword
When i open project in localhost. It give apache error.
I checked apache error log two error come:
First:It access permissions error.
Second:Client denied by server configuration.
Thanks In advance
project C:\xamp\htdocs\helloword\
also give CLI error when i create module under app
Hm, maybe try this:
instead of
<Directory "C:\wamp\www\helloword\web">
AllowOverride All
All Allow from All
</Directory>
this:
<Directory "C:\wamp\www\helloword\web">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and restart apache.
