forbidden error apache vhost

sunlinux · 04-11-2011, 02:54 AM

Hi,

I was accessing my different directories on ip based access like

http://ip/abc
http://ip/xyz

Now I implemented a vhost configuration like

host.abc.com ( this site is running ok)
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/host/

but after that my other ip based sites giving forbidden error.

On Slackware, this was necessary:

Quote:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
</Directory>

Note the commented out lines

I hope it helps.

Hi,

If you have just one vhost with a docroot /var/www/html/abc, then you cannot visit pages in directories above the docroot (like /var/www/html/xyz)
You can create a default vhost, that uses /var/www/html as docroot and then you can access http://ip/xyz. You can use the following before the abc vhost definition:

Code:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
...
</VirtualHost>

Hi I put your code before vhost:
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
...
</VirtualHost>

but getting same forbidden error

code:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/abc
ServerName abc.myhosting.com
Options FollowSymLinks
</VirtualHost>

I guess you've restarted apache and cleared your browser cache before testing. And that you want to view the pages in /var/www/html/xyz.
If you still get this error, please post what you get in apache error_log when you try to visit http://ip/xyz
