(13) Permission denied on Virtual Server

[tcs777]

Hi all,

I googled the world, but didn't find a solution.

I configured a virtual server as follows in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/home/

http://www_domain_tld/html"

ServerName

http://www_domain_tld

<Directory "/home/

http://www_domain_tld/html">

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I created /home/

http://www_domain_tld/html/index.html

Index.html and its parent dirs areall chmodded +x.

Browse to httpd://

http://www_domain_tld/index.html

gives me:
"(13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied"

Browse to httpd://

http://www_domain_tld

gives me:
"(13)Permission denied: access to / denied"

What else can be wrong?

Cheers, Tim

Hi

[red]I[/red]ndex.html and its parent dirs areall chmodded +x.

Are you sure about that "I" ? Normally should be lowercase.

Browse to http[red]d[/red]://www_domain_tld/index.html

Are you sure about that "d"? Normally should not be there.

I would try to [tt]su -[/tt] to the user with whos permissions Apache runs, then [tt]cat[/tt] that index file to see if the problem is at filesystem level.

Sorry, index.html (of course) is lowercase.

I mistyped http too, so full URL is

http://www_domain_tld/index.html

index.html does not need x permission - it is not executed, merely read.

It would need read permission by whatever user apache is running under, either via group or user owner.

If index is owned by root it will fail. Be sure to chown of index.html to something in the same group as the apache account, or to the apache account itself
