Setting file permissions so Apache can serve my files

thomasfingram · 12-03-2005, 07:17 PM

I have Fedora Core 4 on my computer, and I'm running Apache primarily for myself (testing and such). Everytime I create a file or copy a file from elsewhere I get Apache gives me a 403 Permission error. I tried to set a group that could be allowed to control this folder but nothing works! I really don't know much about Linux yet, but this seems as if it ought to be a simple procedure.

It probably lacks the necessary SELinux context and stuff. See the FC3 SELinux Apache guide.

SELinux? Besides I have FC4, not FC3. Or does that matter?

Also I checked around the settings and it says I have SELinux installed. At least options to configure it are available.

What does it show when you do "ls -Z"?

Code:

drwxrwxr-x  thomas   webmaste system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t html

That's what it says on everything, as far as I can see, except most entries don't have the 'd' in front.
