Permission denied in apache

packets · 05-19-2007, 12:45 AM

I download and install httpd-2.2.4.tar.gz. Then I install nagios. In my other server, http is installed via RPM. Now, I'm installing it using source.

Problem is it saying 403 Forbidden. I check log of httpd and it says:
Permission denied: access to /nagios/ denied

html files are stored in share dir under nagios dir. Here is the permission:

drwxrwxrwx 9 nagios apache 4096 May 19 13:15 share

Is there a problem in my permission?

Do you have SELinux in enforcing mode, if so:

Code:

# semanage fcontext -l | grep "/var/www"
/var/www(/.*)?        all files          system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0

-- make sure the dir you are sharing as web content have the correct security context

-- you can do:

Code:

# restorecon -R /var/www/*

this should make the security context of the new dir the same as the parent

I'm using redhat 9. I dont think it has SELinux.
