You don't have permission to access myFile.MP4 on this server.


Hi!

I run Apache/2.2.4 (Fedora) and I canīt reach some mp4 files in one directory. I have 6 files with an .MP4 extension. When I try to reach them, I get the message "You don't have permission to access myFile.MP4 on this server."
Iīve created a text file (.txt) in the same directory, an I can reach it without problem. All those files have exactly the same permissions
Quote:
rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache
.

What is the reason for my problem?

Thanks.

Is SELinux active? Anything about that in syslog or any other audit log? Checked the security context ('ls' with the "-Z" flag)?

Thanks for the answer! Yes SELinux is activ, and with ls- Z and get part of the answer:
the files I canī t reach are schown like this:
Quote:
-rw-r--r-- apache apache user_ubject_r:httpd_sys_content_t
and the one I can read are schown like that:
Quote:
rw-r--r-- apache apache user_ubject_r:user_home_t
I found some further explanations hier:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinu...ple-setup.html
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinu...ple-setup.html


now it works.
thanks again.
