Apache Httpd2
 

Im fairly new to linux and mandrake. So far the hardest part for me to grasp coming from many years of windoze using is the whole permissions thing. LOL. Silly windows. Anyways, I have modified the apache http2d.conf file to make my document root home\myusername\www, but when i try a localhost in konquerer it tells me that I do not have permissions to access. I've used chmod to enable all full read, write,execute access on the folder but still gives me same error, and yes I've tried to restart apache but still does not help... So I'm fairly sure that the permissions has nothing to do with the www folder.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Oh I should also point out, that I think I'm using ADVX or.. the advanced Extranet server that comes with CD2 in the install.

Your slashes should be forward slashes not back slashes.

The pool has not much to do with your question...

Your problem is in permissions (you already know it, I'm sure). The thing it's in your /home (that's probably readable only by your user). I recommend you to use a directory like /var/www/html, really. Then you only need to make the files writable for your user (and probably symlink it to /home/user/www or something).

If you really want to have it in your /home, how does the result of 'cd /home/username; ls -l|grep www' and 'cd /home/username/www; ls -l' look like? I mean, is only the directory accessible for all or maybe the files inside are readable to Apache, too.

Well. the Poll it has nothing to do with the question, I was just curious about it, thats all. Are polls suppose to be directly related to the post? Anyways, yeah, I think the best plan is to just not have it in the /home dir. And my slashes were forward slashes, I just posted it wrong in here, what can I say... Im a windows kid.

Thanks for the replies.
