dkc_ace · 01-12-2003, 03:20 PM

ok i am having a problem with apache and permissions. well i moved the home dir of apache to my 80gb hdd. /hdb1/hdb1/html/
and well if u go to http://dkc1.dnsq.org/notshow/ it will say permissions denyed but if u go to http://dkc1.dnsq.org/notshow/smaller.jpg the picture will show fine but its in the dir notshow.

p.s will i have a problem with hosting .php sites or mysql stuff sense i moved the home dir to a diffrent hard drive.?

What's the permissions of notshow ? Do you have an index file in there ? If not, you probably just have directory indexing turned off so poeple cant see the directory listing.

i belive its 755 im not sure on the # though.

user= (show entries) (write entrties) (enter)
group=(show entries) (enter)
others= (show entries) (enter)

when i have the files in the /var/www/html it works fine. but when i point it to /hdb1/hdb1/html it dont work.

does it matter who and what group has ownership on the notshow dir? right now ace=user and group = root

i set the the folder permissions the same in the /var/www/html dir but that dont work either.

What's your output of:

ls -al /hdb1/hdb1/html

That would give us the permissions listing.

Also, do you have a index type file in the html directory your trying to put your files to ?

Yeah, so what Tricky is saying is you have no index file. You need to create something like index.html and this will be the default page the users see when they go to yoursite.com.

For example, when you go to www.masterc.no-ip.org all you see in the url is that, however it's bring up my index.html

Cool

Thank you for clarifying that MasterC.

Like I mentioned before, if you don't have a index.html file, it won't display a directory listing of files that you have in that directory.

You most likely have directory indexing or listing disabled. I believe this option is under the <directory> section of your httpd.conf file.

umm i cant seem to find the httpd.conf file i looked in /etc but couldnt find it. only one i found was in /etc/http/ conf or someting like that. but none of them would show up in kate or pico. i was su.

i guess i found it.

ummmm i cant have listening disabled (or do i) bc when i move the dir back to the old one or default dir /var/www/html it works purfectly fine. but when i change it to /hdb1/hdb1/html and restart the service it stops working. when its in /var/www/html/ works just how li want it to work.

here is my conf file. http://dkc1.dnsq.org/notshow/configfile

dkc_ace · 01-14-2003, 09:46 AM

anyone? If u need any more info pls ask.

MasterC · 01-14-2003, 11:47 AM

I really don't know... What is in /var/www/html (is this the actual directory?)?

I read your config file, maybe you need to create an index.html file, but I don't what that would do...

Hmm, I just tried it on mine, no problem. I simply moved my index.html to index.html.old and it brought up a directory listing...

I'm gonna search around a bit and see if I can find anything for ya.

Cool

btw, this file (httpd.conf) is in /etc/apache on my system, I don't know if it differs from distro to distro...

Cool

Looking through my config, I would think these sections might be of some help (I'm running Apache 1.3, 2.0 might be different..):

Code:

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

Code:

# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

These are all down after the <Drectory> option.

Cool

Ok, just lookin over your config file, try using full path to your DocumentRoot:

Code:

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "hdb1/hdb1/html"

So if it's /mnt/hdb1/hdb1/html for the path (which is a VERY odd path btw..) then don't forget the first /

Then restart apache:
apachectl restart

Cool

<further down as well, edit the same thing, add the full path, including />
