[SOLVED] No permission to access owncloud with apache

vincix · 06-12-2016, 12:27 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to configure owncloud on my server, but I encounter two errors:

Quote:

You don't have permission to access /owncloud/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

In ssl_error_log:
client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/owncloud/core/templates/403.php, referer: https://macroscian.com/owncloud/

I also tried changing the permissions of /usr/share/owncloud to apache:apache, but to no avail.

There's also the default owncloud.conf under /etc/httpd/conf.d which points to the respective file (index.php).

Any ideas what I should be searching for?

This is part of my httpd.conf file:

Quote:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<VirtualHost *:80>
Redirect / https://macroscian.com/
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "/var/www/html/share">
Options +FollowSymLinks +Multiviews +Indexes
IndexOptions NameWidth=80
AllowOverride Indexes
AuthType basic
AuthName "private"
AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
</Directory>

The rest is the default config. I don't think my directory directive has anything to do with it.

Do you think that the fact that the documentroot points to a completely different folder than where the /owncloud is is actually the problem? And if so, how can I solve the problem as smoothly as possible?

Well, it does work if I move /usr/share/owncloud to /var/www/html/owncloud and the point it in owncloud.conf, but that's hardly ideal, obviously.

The problem was that owncloud doesn't normally allow for the initial wizard to be configured remotely, but only from the localhost. So what I did was force it, by configuring it to accept requests from outside, like you do after you configure it:

/etc/owncloud/config.php:

Quote:

'trusted_domains' =>
array (
0 => 'macroscian.com',
),
