Hi,

I have installed a web server on my mandrake 10.1 box, I wonder if you have the same problem as mine, I can access my webpage using my IP, but i can't seem to access it whenever I add a virtual server. I have set appropriate permissions to /mydomain/www on my individual virtual server but i can't see it on the net. Instead i get this "you don't have permission to access / on this server" message. I have added "DirectoryIndex" in the Vhosts.conf file and still no progress. Also, I see the same no permission message when I try my IP on the browser. Will someone help me on this?

I'm not having the same problem as you, as i'm not having a problem, wonder why you think someone has to have a problem to help you... anyway, directoryindex simply lists which files to use as index pages, e.g. index.html index.php default.htm etc... you want the Indexes option: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options

Are you running SELinux? Check the security context of the files in questions:

You should see something like:

The important part here is the system_ubject_r:httpd_sys_content_t. If they aren't set to that, and SELinux is set to enforce, you need to do the following:

To change the context of each file within the directory and its subdirectories. If you don't need a recursive change remove the -R from the command. Restart httpd, and if SELinux is the culprit, this will resolve your issues. The log file to look at to confirm SELinux problems is /var/log/audit/audit.log. If this fixes your problem, look into http://www.chinaitpower.com/2005Sept...13/201367.html for a quick rundown of SELinux policies and applications.

HTH,
Mike.

no i am not using SELinux, and the # ls -Z doesn't work either, the DirectoryIndex i made was to make the website point to the index file, which is a .htm , i thought maybe the " permission " problem might be that the website cannot find the proper index file. I've googles on it and done everything but there seem to be no solution.

Can you post your configs?

this is my '/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf' config, the only file i've changed sinced i made a clean install
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerPath /domain
DocumentRoot /home/user/domain
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml default.cgi default.html default.htm
#</VirtualHost>

I haven't changed anything from the 'httpd.conf' file, but a few days ago virtual hosting worked using the same settings, but after i installed Linneighborhood,i can't access virtal hosted sites.
