Respected Members,
I am a newbie to linux. Preparing for my RHCSA exam. I have an error in apache conf which I am unable to solve it. If any member gives me any suggestion regarding this, it will be a great help.
Okay so here is the task which I am trying to perform:
******* YUM Server With HTTP *****
I have copied the whole RHEL6 dvd into my desktop in a directory called "rhelrepo". After that created a database with "createrepo" inside "Packages" folder. Modified httpd server config file with Alias "/repo" pointed towards the directory "/home/admin/Desktop/rhelrepo".
Created directory
order allow,deny
allow from all
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Disabled selinux, firewall. Restarted the httpd service, it is not accessible. After that I changed the Document root to the appropriate folder /home/admin/Desktop/rhelrepo , it says that "Document Root Must Be A Directory".
I am struggling to find the solutions for this. I have applied the solutions which is provided in this forum but still no luck. Will appreciate any help from the members
Thanks
This is typically either an SELinux issue or a typo in your configuration. Please check that the documentroot directive does not contain any weird quote characters or full stops or the like. If possible, post your actual DocumentRoot configuration line in this question.
Also, you could run namei -m /home/admin/Desktop/rhelrepo to make sure the system sees your directory as an actual directory.

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 ./*
I'm just a newbie for Apache. I just installed apache 2.2 on the FreeBSD box at my home office. The instruction on FreeBSD documentation is that I can change the DocumentRoot directive in order to use the customized directory data. Therefore, I replaced...
/usr/local/www/apache22/data
with
/usr/home/some_user/public_html
but something is not right. There's index.html file inside the directory, but it seems that apache could not read the directory/file.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
The permission of
public_html
is
drwxr-xr-x
I wonder what could be wrong here. Also, in my case, I am not going to host more than one website for this FreeBSD box, so I didn't look at using VirtualHost at all. Is this a good practice just to change the DirectoryRoot directive?
Somewhere in the apache config is a line like:
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache22/data">
You must change this path too, to make it work. This directive contains for example:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Which give initial user access to the directory.
one possibility that comes to mind is SELinux blocking web process from accessing that folder. If this is the case, you would see it in selinux log. You would have to check the context for your original web root with:
ls -Zl
and then apply it to your new web folder:
chcon whatevercontextyousaw public_html
Or, instead, if its not a production server that requires security (like a development machine behind a firewall), you might want to just turn selinux off.
Just one idea. Could be a number of other things.
I recently installed apache2 on ubuntu but I have a problem, my httpd.conf is empty. Can someone give me a clean copy of httpd.conf for apache2 on ubuntu?
Thanks!
Edit: I saw your answers but on wampserver httpd.conf is not empty and as you mentioned it is for user options. SO what should I do?
Edit2 : That's what I got on my apache2.conf, how I add modules, enable gzip and all of that?
[Deleted the contents, as they render the question unreadable and are useless, because that were the default Apache2 configuration under Ubuntu.]
The /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty in Ubuntu, because the Apache configuration resides in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf!
“httpd.conf is for user options.” No it isn't, it's there for historic reasons.
Using Apache server, all user options should go into a new *.conf-file inside /etc/apache2/conf.d/. This method should be "update-safe", as httpd.conf or apache2.conf may get overwritten on the next server update.
Inside /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, you will find the following line, which includes those files:
# Include generic snippets of statements
Include conf.d/
As of Apache 2.4+ the user configuration directory is /etc/apache2/conf-available/. Use a2enconf FILENAME_WITHOUT_SUFFIX to enable the new configuration file or manually create a symlink in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/. Be aware that as of Apache 2.4 the configuration files must have the suffix .conf (e.g. conf-available/my-settings.conf);
It's empty by default. You'll find a bunch of settings in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
In there it does this:
# Include all the user configurations:
Include httpd.conf
OK - what you're missing is that its designed to be more industrial and serve many sites, so the config you want is probably:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
which on my system is linked to from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
if you want to have different sites with different options, copy the file and then change those...
It seems to me, that it is by design that this file is empty.
A similar question has been asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2567432/ubuntu-apache-httpd-conf-or-apache2-conf
So, you should have a look for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
I installed Apache2, php, and mysql onto my Linux Mint machine with the hopes of continuing a website I had built. After copy and pasting all of the code I had I noticed a problem with one of my include statments:
<?php include("./dir/file1.html");
That wasn't working. Originally I thought the issue was with php but after a lot of trial and error I've concluded it's apache not allowing access to subdirectories in the /var/www/ directory.
Since I'm new to editing apache configuration files, I'm not really sure what to change to allow access to all subdirectories within /var/www/ on localhost. I've tried adding:
<Directory /var/www/*>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
to my httpd.conf file (which was blank, which I learned had something to do with Linux Mint being Debian based) and confirmed that default in /sites-available had similar code. I'll post that if it's requested.
I'm unsure on what else I can do to get apache to allow access to subdirectories in my /var/www/ directory for localhost and none of my previous methods have worked.
UPDATE:
I believe it's an Apache issue because when trying to go to a subdirectory through the browser (like localhost/dir/), I get a 403 error. I don't have to be going to an actual webpage for that problem. Also, include statments including files in the current directory has no problem, only with subdirectories.
The Include statement above gives no errors or any other useful messages. Whatever the include statement is including is just not there. I've tried require but that gives me a 500 server error: the server may be down for maintenance (paraphrased).
While playing with Apache, I messed up the paths without making a backup httpd.config file.
The file is located at C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.config
I want to keep my web project on the D: drive as a virtual folder. This is the current non-working state. How can I fix this or revert to the xampp defaults?
ServerRoot "C:\xampp\apache"
DocumentRoot "D:\workspace"
<Directory "D:\workspace\AutionWebSite">
ServerRoot = path to the webserver executable/dir
DocumentRoot = path to your files that are delivered by the server
The <Directory> directive is used to configure settings for a specific directory. However, the <Directory> command in your question is not complete.
The default values for DocumentRoot and Directory for XAMPP is "C:\xampp\htdocs"
I would say that the most easiest way for you would be to check your xampp version, make a back up of your document root, which is probably "www" or "htdocs", your configuration files and eventually dump your database. Now install the same version of xammp again and there it is.
And at least the first rule is by playing with "config files", make backups before. The second rule is, make a backup of the whole configuration directory anyway, just for the case. And the last one is, if you are a xammp user, means you are a windows user, so you probably don't have unixoid server administration knowledges, so there is a long way for you to starting to "play" with the apache server.
The only think that you should know is, that you need to set the direction "AllowOverride All", which is necessary, if you use some content management system or other systems, which brings there own .htaccess file. So long you work on windows with xammp and not on a linux or other unixoid operating systems, you cannot understand the complete world of web servers like apache or database servers like postgresql and the sensibility of configuration files.
I understand the necessity of it for understanding of whole web applications respect. to be an full stack web programmer, but before that, i wouldn't change in the future the default server configurations, just check the row "AllowOverride All". Hope this will help your.
Server Root "/Local"
-specifies the default directory hierarchy for the Apache installation.
Document Root"/Local/WWW/apache22/data"
- the directory out of which you will serve your documents.
