 Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2002 4:56 pm Post subject: apache "Forbidden" error ..... |
 |
|
I have emerged net-www/apache, dev-db/mysql, dev-php/mod_php
#ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-4.2.3-r2/mod_php-4.2.3-r2.ebuild config
Hard coded mod_php in the /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf
#/etc/init.d/apache start
Using the default directory that apache is set to originally in the apache.conf, I can browse the web server fine. If I change the root directoy to where I have my php web pages, I get the following error in Mozilla, IE, and Netscape:
| Code: | Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin.php on this server.
Apache/1.3.27 Server at krillan.an0nymity.com Port 80 |
here is the error I get in /var/log/apache/error_log:
| Code: | Wed Dec 18 11:27:33 2002] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80
[Wed Dec 18 11:44:43 2002] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80 |
Does anyone have any clues, what is causing this? I'd appreciate any help.
Thanx,
An0nymity |

| Please take a look at this thread. Looks similar, but I am not sure. |

| Yeah, I did see that thread, but I don't quite understand what it is telling one to do, to resolve the problem. Smack me for being ignorant, but I'd like to have a little more indepth detail on what to do, so I have a better understanding what is happening. |

If it were me running into that problem, here's what I would try:
1. Stick a plain HTML file (not .PHP) in that "new" root directory and see if you can access it. That will help isolate if it's the php interpreter or the directory itself.
2. If # 1 failed, check the permissions on that "new" root directory (and the directories above it) and confirm they all have execute set for all users. This is needed (I believe) for apache to traverse through those directories.
3. If #1 worked, try sticking a minimal PHP file in that directory. Something like <? echo "hello"; ?> and see if that works. If yes, then there is something that "admin.php" is trying to do that is the problem. If not, then all PHP itself seems to be the problem.
I don;t have a lot of mod_phpp background so can't help you with the nitty gritty there...
Hope any of this helps.

The "depth" of it are, first of all apache set up very strict rules for access, starting with <Directory / > (root) Rules here </Directory>, to ensure no one is slipping in behinde the sceens. It practically means no acceess at all. Then rules are set up for standard web root <Directory /home/apache/htdocs> rules here </Directory>, if you have webpages you want accessable somewhere else outside of /home/apache/htdoc (or what ever path you have for it), you have to set up similar access rules for access under that path. <Directory /path/to/your/pages> rules </Directory>
It's pretty simple... and logical. Basicly you can copy the rules under your standard path.
