I get permission denied errors....


shak380

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I have configured web server, the details are below..

OS =   RedHat Enterprise Linux 5,

web server =   httpd ( came with RHEL-5, i have neither updated nor installed a latest version)

httpd status   =   Up and Running.

Name Server =   Okay, resolving properly.

Hostname   =   shak380.peerakkuzhi.org

What I am trying to do : I am trying to configure my web server like the WHM server. So I all the domains Document root will be /home/"username"/www/web/ and log would be /home/"username"/log/ without the "Users home directory" option in my httpd.conf( since WHM httpd.conf file does not contain that). I set the group owner of www as "apache", since i got the "permission denied" error I set the ownership recursively to apache on www, still get the same error.

I have given my httpd.conf(without comment lines) file here.....

I have "Quoted" the error log here. It is a filtered error regarding this only. These are the errors that I got, when I had set my DocumentRoot as /var/www/html/ then as / and finally as /home/. The errors are listed in respective order.

Please note that instead putting my web files in /var/www/html/ folder I had put it in another folder in /var/www/html, for example /var/www/html/example1.com/ and had set the permission accordingly, 755.

Hello everybody,

 

I had the same problem and searching the web I found that it was because of the security context, with the command  you see the context

 

ls -Z /web/directory/

 

and with this another command you change the security context

 

chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /web/directory/

 

 

Doing this is resolved, in my case, I hope will help them.  :D
