I am having an Amazon EC2 Instance, I have enable the mod_rewrite but htacess not working.
Also while changing /etc/apache2/sites-available/default setting AllowOverride none to AllowOverride All it is giving me internal server error.
Am I missing something.
internal server error.
Means there is something wrong with the .htaccess file likely
Check /var/log/httpd/error.log it may give you the line. but it will tell you whats wrong
Here is what I try and that work for me
Open file as
sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Second
remove comment sign (#)
AccessFileName .htaccess
Then find the line where there is
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverrideNone
Require all granted
</Directory>
replace "None" with "All"
AllowOverride All
I found this on https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/61009/how-to-enable-use-of-htaccess-in-apache-on-ubuntu/61022#61022
Suppose It's showing some Internal Server Error First, you activate ModRewrite feature:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I want to use Apache2 at VPS to host my test websites.
Now I have a Joomla website and can reach it using 111.111.111.111/mydomain.com
But the troubles becomes when I trying to reach website's page like 111.111.111.111/mydomain.com/about.html
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
I think I need to configure apache right way but I don't know how.
Yes I know I can register some domain name but I prefer to use 111.111.111.111/mydomain.com address for now.
Thank you.
After many attemptions I had resolved it.
First of all you need to check the apache2.conf file. There must be active string AllowOverride All .
And next block
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Then you need activate rewrite module
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
And better restart your Virtual Machine.
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server with LAMP stack already installed.
I have a directory /home/alex/checkhtml which included some testing php and html.
What I want is when I access http://localhost/checkhtml , the content of /home/alex/checkhtml will be showed (Actually /home/alex/checkhtml/index.html)
Here is what I did:
Go to: /etc/apache2/conf-available and create apache-php.conf file
Add these lines to apache-php.conf:
Alias ^/php "/home/alex/php"
<Directory /home/alex/php>
Order allow,deny
Require all granted
</Directory>
Go to /home/alex/checkhtml and create .htaccess and add these lines:
<FilesMatch ".">
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
Enable apache-php.conf and restart apache
However, when I tried: http://localhost/checkhtml . The error appear:
The requested URL /checkhtml was not found on this server.
Does anyone know what I did wrong here ?
Thank you and best regards.
Alex
You should use Alias driective for exact URL matching. If you want to use Regex matching then use AliasMatch directive:
AliasMatch "^/checkhtml" "/home/alex/checkhtml"
<Directory /home/alex/checkhtml>
Require all granted
</Directory>
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">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Require all granted
</Directory>
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 /awstatscss "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/css/"
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.
#
<Directory "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot">
Options None
AllowOverride None

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"
Set required all granted in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
I have a server from AWS EC2 service running on Linux ubuntu and I have installed apache, php, and mysql.
I have added a .htaccess file in my document root /var/www/html.
I entered this code in it:
ErrorDocument 404 /var/www/html/404.php and it is still not showing up.
I kept entered this command multiple times: sudo service httpd restart to restart the server but no changes displayed...
How can I fix this... Did I do something wrong?
First, note that restarting httpd is not necessary for .htaccess files. .htaccess files are specifically for people who don't have root - ie, don't have access to the httpd server config file, and can't restart the server. As you're able to restart the server, you don't need .htaccess files and can use the main server config directly.
Secondly, if .htaccess files are being ignored, you need to check to see that AllowOverride is set correctly. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#allowoverride for details. You need to also ensure that it is set in the correct scope - ie, in the right block in your configuration. Be sure you're NOT editing the one in the block, for example.
Third, if you want to ensure that a .htaccess file is in fact being read, put garbage in it.
An invalid line, such as "INVALID LINE HERE", in your .htaccess file, will result in a 500 Server Error when you point your browser at the directory containing that file. If it doesn't, then you don't have AllowOverride configured correctly.
Enable Apache mod_rewrite module
a2enmod rewrite
add the following code to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
AllowOverride All
Restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If you have tried all of the above, which are all valid and good answers, and your htaccess file is not working or being read change the directive in the apache2.conf file. Under Ubuntu the path is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Change the <Directory> directive pointing to your public web pages, where the htaccess file resides. Change from AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
I had the same problem and found the answer and explanation on the Ubuntu Ask! forum https://askubuntu.com/questions/421233/enabling-htaccess-file-to-rewrite-path-not-working
For Ubuntu,
First, run this command :-
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Then, edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf using nano or vim using this command :-
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Then in the 000-default.conf file, add this after the line DocumentRoot /var/www/html. If your root html directory is something other, then write that :-
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
After doing everything, restart apache using the command sudo service apache2 restart
Most probably, AllowOverride is set to None. in Directory section of apache2.conf located in /etc/apache2 folder
Try setting it to AllowOverride All
Just follow 3 steps
Enable mode_rewrite using following command
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Password will be asked. So enter your password
Update your 000-default.conf or default.conf file located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory. you can not edit it directly. so use following command to open
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Or
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf
you will get
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
OR
DocumentRoot /var/www
line. Add following code after it.
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Make user the directory tag path is same as shown in your file.
Restart your apache server using following command
sudo service apache2 restart
In my experience, /var/www/ directory directive prevents subfolder virtualhost directives. So if you had tried all suggestions and still not working and you are using virtualhosts try this ;
1 - Be sure that you have
AllowOverride All directive in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
2 - Check /var/www/ Directory directives in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (possibly at line 164), which looks like ;
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
If there is an AllowOverride None directive change it to
AllowOverride All or just escape line
By default, Apache prohibits using an .htaccess file to apply rewrite rules, so
Step 1 — Enabling mod_rewrite (if not Enabled)
First, we need to activate mod_rewrite. It's available but not enabled with a clean Apache 2 installation.
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
This will activate the module or alert you that the module is already enabled. To put these changes into effect, restart Apache.
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
mod_rewrite is now fully enabled. In the next step we will set up an .htaccess file that we'll use to define rewrite rules for redirects.
Step 2 — Setting Up .htaccess
Open the default Apache configuration file using nano or your favorite text editor.
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Inside that file, you will find a block starting on the first line. Inside of that block, add the following new block so your configuration file looks like the following. Make sure that all blocks are properly indented.
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
. . .
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. To put these changes into effect, restart Apache.
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
Done. Your .htacess should work.
This link may actually help somebody https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rewrite-urls-with-mod_rewrite-for-apache-on-ubuntu-16-04
I cleared this use. By using this site click Here , follow the steps, the same steps follows upto the ubuntu version 18.04
Go to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
You have to edit that file (you should have root permission). Change directory text as bellow:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Now you have to restart apache.
service apache2 restart
In WampServer Open WampServer Tray icon ----> Apache ---> Apache Modules --->rewrite_module
For completeness, if "AllowOverride All" doesn't fix your problem, you could debug this problem using:
Run apachectl -S and see if you have more than one namevhost. It might be that httpd is looking for .htaccess of another DocumentRoot.
Use strace -f apachectl -X and look for where it's loading (or not loading) .htaccess from.
i have a lot of sites on my virtual machine,
and i solved it only by changing config of the site in which i needed .htaccess
what i did:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
next i changed only config for particular site, not for every site "example.com"
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enable/example.com.conf
inside of it i added
<Directory /var/www/example.com>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
service apache2 restart
so it only applies for 1 site, because when i tried to apply changes to entire server it crashed, don't know why, but this solved my problem
I want to disable directory browsing of /galerias folder and all subdirectories
Index of /galerias/409
* Parent Directory
* i1269372986681.jpg
* i1269372986682.jpg
* i1269372988680.jpg
Create an .htaccess file containing the following line:
Options -Indexes
That is one option. Another option is editing your apache configuration file.
In order to do so, you first need to open it with the command:
vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Then find the line: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Change that line to: Options FollowSymLinks
Lastly save and exit the file, and restart apache server with this command:
sudo service httpd restart
(You have a guide with screenshots here.)
The best way to do this is disable it with webserver apache2. In my Ubuntu 14.X - open /etc/apache2/apache2.conf change from
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
to
<Directory /var/www/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
then restart apache by:
sudo service apache2 reload
This will disable directory listing from all folder that apache2 serves.
Apart from the aformentioned two methods (edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or add Options -Indexes in .htaccess file), here is another one
a2dismod autoindex
Restart the apache2 server afterwards
sudo service apache2 restart
Edit/Create an .htaccess file inside /galerias with this:
Options -Indexes
Directory browsing is provided by the mod_autoindex module.
You can place an empty file called index.html into each directory that you don't want listed. This has several advantages:
It (usually) requires zero configuration on the server.
It will keep working, even if the server administrator decides to use "AllowOverride None" in the the server configuration. (If you use .htaccess files, this can lead to lots of "Error 500 - internal server error" messages for your users!).
It also allows you to move your files from one server to the next, again without having to mess with the apache configuration.
Theoretically, the autoindexing might be triggered by a different file (this is controlled by the DirectoryIndex option), but I have yet to encounter this in the real world.
One of the important thing is on setting a secure apache web server is to disable directory browsing. By default apache comes with this feature enabled but it is always a good idea to get it disabled unless you really need it.
Open httpd.conf file in apache folder and find the line that looks as follows:
Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
then remove word Indexes and save the file. Restart apache. That's it
If you choose to modify your httpd.conf file to solve this and you have multiple Options directives, then you must add a - or a + before each directive. Example:
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
This is not an answer, just my experience:
On my Ubuntu 12.04 apache2, didn't find Indexes in either apache2.conf or httpd.conf, luckily I found it in sites-available/default. After removing it, now it doesn't see directory listing. May have to do it for sites-available/default-ssl.
To complete #GauravKachhadiya's answer :
IndexIgnore *.jpg
means "hide only .jpg extension files from indexing.
IndexIgnore directive uses wildcard expression to match against directories and files.
a star character , it matches any charactes in a string ,eg : foo or foo.extension, in the following example, we are going to turn off the directory listing, no files or dirs will appear in the index :
IndexIgnore *
Or if you want to hide spacific files , in the directory listing, then we can use
IndexIgnore *.php
*.php => matches a string that starts with any char and ends with .php
The example above hides all files that end with .php
Open Your .htaccess file and enter the following code in
Options -Indexes
Make sure you hit the ENTER key (or RETURN key if you use a Mac) after entering the "Options -Indexes" words so that the file ends with a blank line.
Add this in your .htaccess file:
Options -Indexes
If it is not work for any reason, try this within your .htaccess file:
IndexIgnore *
Try this in .htaccess:
IndexIgnore *.jpg
In Directory Section ( /etc/httpd/httpd.conf)
Remove Line - Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
New Line - Options FollowSymLinks
I found another way of doing this with virtual hosts:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/WAMP/Apache24/htdocs/
ServerName vehiclesspares.com
<Directory C:/WAMP/Apache24/htdocs/vehiclesspares.com>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This worked for me on Apache 2.4.54 on my local windows machine with the host file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) containing the line:
127.0.0.1 vehiclesspares.com
This configuration also had vehiclesspares.com under the docroot: C:\WAMP\Apache24\htdocs\vehiclesspares.com
