On my local system i tried to get password protecting a directory with .htaccess running on Mamp 3.0.7.2 . The Apache version Mamp uses is Apache/2.2.29 (Unix). The httpd.conf file
/applications/mamp/conf/apache/httpd.conf
contains the following active line:
LoadModule authn_file_module modules/mod_authn_file.so
My testproject in
/applications/mamp/htdocs/sandbox/testproject/admin/.htaccess
contains following lines:
AuthBasic Basic
AuthName "Admin Area"
AuthUserFile /applications/mamp/htdocs/sandbox/.htpasswd
require valid-user
the .htpasswd file was created one level beneath in the sandbox folder for testing purpose only with:
htpasswd -c .htpasswd adminuser
with pwd .htpasswd within the sandbox folder i've extracted the exact path to prevent any typos which lead to
/applications/mamp/htdocs/sandbox/.htpasswd
but when i try to access the index.php file in the admin folder i get the following in the browser:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, you#example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
and the php_error.log outputs the following on every try:
[Mon Dec 29 11:23:30 2014] [alert] [client ::1] /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sandbox/testproject/admin/.htaccess: Invalid command 'AuthBasic', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
But how could the AuthBasic command be misspelled or not included, cuz it actually is defined properly as shown above. :/

In my document root I have created a directory named error and some files inside it. Whenever I try to access localhost/error, I get 403 forbidden error. There is an unanswered question about the exact same problem. The error log for the error is as following
[Sun Aug 19 09:00:52.317995 2018] [autoindex:error] [pid 3536:tid 1592] [client ::1:61437] AH01276: Cannot serve directory F:/xampp/apache/error/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.pl,index.cgi,index.asp,index.shtml,index.html,index.htm,default.php,default.pl,default.cgi,default.asp,default.shtml,default.html,default.htm,home.php,home.pl,home.cgi,home.asp,home.shtml,home.html,home.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
After seeing the log I came to know that the /error directory is appended to ServerRoot (F:/xampp/apache) instead of DocumentRoot (F:/xampp/htdocs). Apache is doing the above only for /error. It is working as expexted for other directories. Can someone tell me the reason and source of this problem?
Try changing the permission on the directory using chmod -R 777. I was facing the same issue and this worked for me
I'm trying to setup a vagrant box with a lamp stack and was mostly successful. However, now I'm stuck with the error "Server unable to read .htaccess file". My setup is a Centos 7 server with Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.6.
Apparently, this seems to happen a lot as I saw many people ask that question, but here's the thing:
1) All my folders are with 777 permissions
2) AllowOverride all and Require all granted is set on all of my folders
3) Even went so far as to add apache user to root group just to see if it would change something
I basically did everything that was suggested in all of the posts I saw and still, apache can't read the .htaccess file.
In my logs, I see:
[Tue Sep 26 15:20:18.178541 2017] [core:crit] [pid 6491:tid 139938095892224] (13)Permission denied: [client 10.0.2.15:52176] AH00529: /var/www/html/Kalendho/public/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable and that '/var/www/html/Kalendho/public/' is executable
So I presume apache actually find the file, but for some reason, cannot open it even though it should be able to. So really, any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently at my whit's end here.
Thanks in advance
Okay, so apparently, it was an issue with selinux. Here's what I did:
Opened the file /etc/selinux/config and changed the following line:
SELINUX=enforcing
to
SELINUX=disabled
After that, I rebooted my machine and it got rid of the htaccess error.
Following this howto I tried to set up my Debian 8 server with Apache 2.4.10 and MySQL 5.5.50 to use MySQL as authentication backend for my SVN. I get an internal server error and can't figure out why.
First I added the file /etc/apache2/conf-available/dbd_mysql.conf, containing
<IfModule mod_dbd.c>
DBDriver mysql
DBDParams "host=localhost user=THEUSER pass=THEPASS"
DBDMin 2
DBDKeep 4
DBDMax 10
DBDExptime 300
</IfModule>
of course followed by
a2enconfig dbd_mysql
I've set up a MySQL Database "authdb" containing the table "mysql_auth" with basically two important columns, "username" and "password". The specific database is accessible by a user, which I will refer to as "THEUSER" with SELECT permission.
Then I added the site specific configuration in /etc/apache2/site-available/svn.conf:
DBDParams "dbname=authdb"
<Location /svn/private/>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn/private/
AuthzSVNAccessFile /svn/auth/accesslist_private
SSLRequireSSL
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthName "SVN"
AuthType Basic
<IfModule mod_authn_dbd.c>
AuthBasicProvider dbd
AuthDBDUserPWQuery "SELECT password FROM mysql_auth WHERE username = %s"
Require valid-user
</IfModule>
</Location>
This site configuration has already been enabled so I restarted the Apache and found something in the log file which I absolutely can not understand:
[dbd:error] [pid 15225] (20014)Internal error: AH00629: Can't connect to mysql: Access denied for user 'A LOCAL SYSTEM USER'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
[dbd:error] [pid 15225] (20014)Internal error: AH00633: failed to initialise
[authn_dbd:error] [pid 15225] [client XX.XX.XX.XX:XYZ] AH01653: Failed to acquire database connection to look up user 'some_user'
This error repeats whenever I try to access my SVN repository.
What is really strange about this is that there is a user in the log file which I absolutely do not expect to find here. It is a system user who as nothing to do with neither MySQL nor Apache. This user is only used to login with SSH. Which point am I missing? Any help would be appreciated!
Finally figured out the problem. Obviously the content of my configuration file was loaded after the content of my site definition.
The solution was as follows: I moved the content from dbd_mysql.conf right in front of the -Definition of my /etc/apache2/site-available/svn.conf, disabled the conf, reloaded Apache and everything worked.
What I haven't figured out yet is, if my configuration is faulty because I would have expected that the configuration is loaded before my site definition which relies on the previous configuration.
When I try to run my website it shows a 500 internal server error :
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster#example.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Error log says :
[cgi:error] [pid 13006] [client 141.101.104.167:28335] AH01215: suexec policy violation: see suexec log for more details: /home/myweb/public_html/cgi-bin/index.cgi
[cgi:error] [pid 13006] [client 141.101.104.167:28335] End of script output before headers: index.cgi
And Suexec log says :
[2016-04-23]: uid: (500/myweb) gid: (500/myweb) cmd: index.cgi
[2016-04-23]: error: target uid/gid (500/500) mismatch with directory (500/500) or program (0/0) or trusted user (0/10)
Since the problem seems from suexec I decided to check at it, so in WHM/Configure PHP and suEXEC I found it's status On, I disabled it and try to run website again but nothing changes, I enabled it again but website still cannot running.
I went to /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and removed the directive :
<IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
<IfModule !mod_ruid2.c>
SuexecUserGroup myweb myweb
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
But that didn't solve the problem and the website still shows 500 internal server error
I changed te permission of /home/myweb/public_html/cgi-bin/ from 777 to 755 then to 775 but the problem still exist.
Can you help me to solve this problem.
change the permissions to 755 for all your files
and enjoy !
The problem is the un-appropriate permissions
i am having problems with setting up a virtual host (Aptana Project directory) on a LAMP installation on Ubuntu 11 (via tasksel).
i can access
/var/www via ht*p://localhost, but accessing /home/tg/Aptana... via ht*p://ea-dev returns an
"You don't have permission to access / on this server."
this is my apache2.conf: http://pastebin.com/Yja02tnE
this is my ea-dev located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/: http://pastebin.com/U1Vu2jxD
thats what i get in the error.log:
[crit] [client 127.0.0.1]
(13)Permission denied: /home/tg/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to
check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
I really don't understand why its written /home/tg and not /home/tg/Aptana... but maybe its just an abbreviation.
Have you checked to make sure the user running the apache daemon can read the files in the directories in question? I'd start with the .htaccess file. That is almost always the cause of the permission denied error. You may also need to add the tg user to the www-data group.
However, the other thing that stands out is the use of spaces in your path for DocumentRoot... I haven't actually ever done that, so I would also try normalizing your directory path, removing spaces and capital letters. That could explain why the path in the error log does not match the path you expected to see - apache does not normally abbreviate such things.
Good luck and let us know if you make any progress or have additional questions/info.
