Wow..is this a newbie question.

My websites stoped workign and now displays 403 forbidden. I can assure you the user is azevedo (me) and it's chmoded 755 recursively. It worked like a week ago and stoped. So far none of the threads here have fixed it. I'm about to completely remove apachy and try again.

The roughter is the way it should be.

Here are the configs.

Code:

apache2

...



# Include the virtual host configurations:

#Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]*  (original setting)

Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default (tried this but doesn't work)

Code:

sitesenabled/000-default



NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        

        DocumentRoot /files/www/

        <Directory />

                Options FollowSymLinks

                AllowOverride None

        </Directory>

        <Directory /files/www/>

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

                AllowOverride None

                Order allow,deny

                allow from all

                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page

                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place

                # Commented out for Ubuntu

                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/

        </Directory>



        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

                AllowOverride None

                Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from all

        </Directory>



        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log



        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

        # alert, emerg.

        LogLevel warn



        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

        ServerSignature On



    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"



    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128

    </Directory>



    <Directory "/files/www/backup">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 127.0.0.0

    </Directory>



</VirtualHost>

Btw I have no idea what /files/www/backup is. It just kindof appeared one day.

ehm.. why are you using 2 directory blocks for the same directory?

better to combine it to something like:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /files/www/
<Directory /files/www>
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

let's continue:

Quote:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

thus all PERL/CGI scripts reside in /usr/lib/cgi-bin (this should have the right permissions to work! did you check this?

remove things you don't use!

Things cannot just appear out of the blue in a config file. (this must be done by hand, or by tool you triggered yourself (or via cron))
But then again.. remove what you don't need!

No joke it did appear out of noware. One day the entire folder just appeared! I just left it alone and didn't think much about it. It is kind of wierd though. I never added /files/www/backup.

edit...
I completely reinstalled apache and this is the file. The only thing I've done is change /var/www to /files/www and the email. This means it has nothing to do with the file but with something else. The file I posted above is just like the original so it actually never did have anything to do with file.
