I can't get it... I try so hard to chmod my .anything fiels... html mpeg etc nothing works.. finally i give everything EVERYTHING everyone has read write and exeucute... still forbidden

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /file.html on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora) Server at (myserver) Port 80

i tried this already

chmod a+x /var/www/html

and i tried giving everyong everything so it couldn't fail but it still did..

EDIT: PHP files work, but not HTML or MPEG... JPEG also work.. i'm confused.

anyone?

are you running SE Linux? if yes you have change security context.

To find out use ls -Z /var/www/html

you should see something similar to this

-rw-r--r-- apache apache user_ubject_r:httpd_sys_content_t index.html

Well, when I do an ls -Z on /var/www the HTML folder looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x root root rootbject_r:httpd_sys_content_t html

and when I do an ls -Z on /var/www/html like you said, it gives me a list of the files and they say this on one of the files that I can't access:

-rwxr-xr-x root root rootbject_r:user_home_t thing.txt


I'm on Fedora Core 4

som thngs 2 chk

1. check if your document root is on the right location your
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
should contain

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

2. Change your owner:group permission
chown -R apache:apache /var/www

3. Change Security Context

chcon -R -h -u user_u -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html
