c0wb0y,

at: http://127.0.0.1 I get the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page" now! So Port 80 is working, but nothing else!

Cheers

Habitual,

apache2ctl -S results are:

so no do not see DirectoryIndex in this dump.

What next?

TBNK

Habitual,

OK found my apache2 DirectoryIndex in file:

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>

Not sure what the IfModule thing does with this, which might be the issue. This file is the same on all my machines, so do not see why the laptop is acting different, unless "mod_dir.c" is having a problem.

Cheers!

TBNK

PS
Searching all my machines, none have mod_dir.c

TBNK

Incorrect. Leave that alone.

Habitual,

None of my machines have DirectoryIndex in the 000-default.conf file, but only the laptop does not work.

I was looking this up though but have not seen the correct syntax/config, to declare this in that default.conf file.

Please share what you know on this!

Cheers!

TBNK

All,

OK I added the line:

DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.do index.htm index.html index.html5 index.php index.php5 index.pl index.xhtml home.cgi home.do home.htm home.html home.html5 home.php home.php5 home.pl home.xhtml

to the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file and restarted apache2.

Nothing changed, still cannot see the localhost or sites via browser.

Cheers!

TBNK

All,

Hey had a thought so purged firefox, then re-installed, now everything but the aliases are working.

Thinking the re-install is not configured to read the aliases.conf file.

Will check that and let you know!

Cheers!

TBNK

All,

More progress! All the alias directories not showing are now giving a 403 permissions error, so running:

chown -R $user:users /homedirectory && chmod -R 775 /homedirectory

Will check again when that finishes!

Cheers

TBNK

All,

Did not fix it, but looking into why not!

Cheers!

TBNK

All,

The include statement for the alias file does not appear to be working. Checking on that now!

Cheers!

TBNK

All,

Still getting the 403 permissions errors. Checked logs and the:

Include aliases.conf

line is working with no errors, but appears the apache2 user & user group is where the permissions errors are coming from.

Not good at that so help please!

Cheers!

TBNK

All,

Since I'm down to just "apache user permissions", closing this and will re-opne new thread on just that issue.

Cheers!
