Hi!

I can't access subdirs from doc root on my newly installed Apache server. For example:

The document root is set to -
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs

Suppose I have a file index.html in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/foo

I can't access it via http : // 192.168.0.100 / foo / (Error 404)

I have no problem seeing http : // 192.168.0.100 / index.html though

I have installed Apache 2.0.49 with all default options and haven't changed a thing to httpd.conf

Any ideas?

EDIT: Oh and if anyone knows of good and detailed starter tutorials on configuring Apache servers, let me know please!

Hi,

That is propably just an issue with file permissions. Generally /usr (and lower dirs) is only available for root.

So you need to change to superuser and inside the /usr/local/apache2/htdocs you need to do 'chmod -R 666 .' to allow read/write access for every user in a recursive mode (so all lower dirs will be also affected).

You can also look at 'man chmod' to change the above command to suit your needs.

Take care,
Alex

mmm nope. doesnt work.

Add index.html as a valid default index page type. Its probably set to just index.htm currently.

It is:

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
