permission problem

radone · 07-24-2006, 05:34 AM

On my server I am trying to configure httpd server to access /home/test/directory:

Code:

Alias /test/ "/home/test/"
<Directory "/home/test">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

This works perfectly. htttp://myserver/test3/ shows list of directory.

Now I have another directory:

Code:

Alias /test3/ "/home/test3/"
<Directory "/home/test3">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

after restarting of server

Code:

/sbin/service httpd restart

I got on address: htttp://myserver/test3/
You don't have permission to access /test3/ on this server.

Code:

[root@localhost home]# ls -Al
drwxr-xr-x  2 root     root     4096 Jul 21 12:15 test
drwxr-xr-x  2 root     root     4096 Jul 21 12:27 test3

./test:
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4872 Nov 20  2004 ahoj.ico

./test3:
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4872 Nov 20  2004 ahoj.ico

/var/log/httpd/error_log

Code:

[error] [client xxxxxxx] (13)Permission denied: cannot read directory for multi: /home/test3/

Please, could anyone point me?

I am totaly desperate about this. What is the reason of this troubles? Do I need to restart something?

Hi,

One thing I can come up with:

Is the second Alias definition (Alias /test3/ "/home/test3/") placed inside the <IfModule mod_alias.c> / </IfModule> section?

Hope this helps.

the problem was with so called SElinux:

Code:

/usr/bin/chcon -R -u user_u -r object_r -t httpd_config_t "/home/test3"

gave the permission for apache.

Gotta love SELinux... IMHO, more headache than it's worth.
