Alias on Apache to home dir on Fedora 8 throws Forbidden!
Hi everyone! I really need some help!
Before running Fedora 8 I was using Ubuntu 7.10 and I had LAMP installed. I am working on two PHP projects of mine, and I made two Alias on apache.conf to redirect from /var/www/url? to /home/username/url? , where url? stands for the directory of my projects. On Ubuntu this was working fine, I simply added that 2 lines to my apache.conf ("Alias /url /home/username/url") and when I entered "localhost/url" on my browser it showed my page! Well, this weekend I decided to try Fedora 8, I set up the Lamp server, and everything was working fine, until I tried to make the same Alias I had on Ubuntu... Now the browser just throws forbidden at me. This is what I already tried to do:
This LAMP server is only for developing, I don't need to connect to it from any other machine, i really need some help! Anyone? Thanks PS: I wanted to write this thread on the server section, and did it on the security one... If someone could change it I would appreciate. Thanks. |
what about the permissions on the home and user folder? The apache user will need execute permissions on these folders to get to the public folder?

I've already solved this problem with some help from the fedoraforums.
It was a permissions issue. I had to add my user to a new group as well as apache. Thanks anyway. |
