404 file not found errors with files that are on the FS

Hey guys,

Just have a question about apache. Hoping to get an opinion on this.

I've just setup a site under apache 2.4.12. This is on a RHEL 6.5 host.

And made sure that the document root setup in the vhost for the site I'm serving has permissions for the apache user. Yet some of the files are throwing a 404 error in a browser even tho they are clearly present and accounted for on the file system.

For example, I'm getting this error:

Code:

(index):1 GET http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images/altImg.png 404 (Not Found)

(index):1 GET http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images/Jimmy_485x1215_R2.jpg 404 (Not Found)

(index):1 GET http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images/Jimmy_792x802_R2.jpg 404 (Not Found)

(index):1 GET http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images/Jimmy_792x413_R2.jpg 404 (Not Found)

And yet as I mentioned all those files are definitely there on the file system:

Code:

[root@aozwsls00019la apache2]# ls -l /var/www/mycomanystore/images/altImg.png /var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_485x1215_R2.jpg /var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x802_R2.jpg /var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x413_R2.jpg

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon    128 Aug 27 12:22 /var/www/mycomanystore/images/altImg.png

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 260983 Jul 16 14:03 /var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_485x1215_R2.jpg

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 126628 Jul 16 14:00 /var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x413_R2.jpg

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 222568 Jul 16 13:56 /var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x802_R2.jpg

And all those files have the correct ownership for apache:

Code:

[root@aozwsls00019la apache2]# egrep -i "user|group" conf/httpd.conf | egrep -i -v -e '#' -e log -e module

User daemon

Group daemon

All the files are owned by daemon:daemon!! So why on earth are these files giving a 404?

This is my virtual host for the site:

Code:

<VirtualHost *>

    ServerAdmin me@mycomany.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/mycomanystore

    ServerName stage.theshopatmycomanystudios.com

 

    ErrorLog logs/store_error_log

    LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common

    CustomLog logs/store_access_log common

    <Directory /var/www/mycomanystore>

      DirectoryIndex index.html

      AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

      Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI +Includes

      AllowOverride All

      Require all granted

    </Directory>

    ExpiresActive On

    ExpiresDefault "access plus 30 minute"

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE

    RewriteRule .* - [F]

</VirtualHost>

Thanks[/code]

In the get request the "s" of "companystore" is capitalized:

Code:

(index):1 GET http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images/altImg.png 404 (Not Found)

Good catch, norobro!

You can use mod_speling to have Apache look for files case-insensitive.

Code:

a2enmod speling
