Software :: Apache Document Root Conflict
May 21, 2009
I have a VPS (Mosso Cloud Server) that is administered and monitored by Platinum Server Mgmt. I have CentOS 5 and Apache 2.2 installed.I requested that my Document Root be set to /var/www/JPDemole.com/ and also a subdomain setup to /var/www/test.JPDemole.com/
They responded by telling me that it would, "[This would] cause a problem with the permissions and that it will be a permissions conflict if you set them to /var/www/. For security and compatibility purposes, they should be in /home/username/.... It can be put anywhere in there."
This is the first time I've been involved with any server administration, but while coding on numerous private vps's before, they had a setup similar to what I was requesting.Am I incorrect in my understanding of the previous situations and the Mgmt company is in fact correct?

I have set up apache on Centos 5.5 and am struggling with vhosts set up.With the config I have set apache will correctly serve sites with a document root of
/var/www/html/home/myuser/public_html
but not /home/myuser/projects > ls -al
shows public_html and projects as having identical permissions (755)

I've set my document root directory in httpd.conf to the directory I want to serve files out of, and set Options to Indexes FollowSymLinks; I've saved the configuration file and restarted apache, yet when I direct my browser to the domain name that's seated there, I can't get at my index.html which exists there. It serves index.html when it exists in the natural document root.

I've had apache installed for a couple of years with no problem but this morning I thought I would change the apache document root to my secondary disk so that my WAMP setup in my Windows partition and LAMP could share the same files. I've edited the etc/apache2/sites-available file to point it to the new location of my document root but I am getting a 403 - forbidden "You don't have permission to access / on this server." error when I try to load files through the browser. I'm not sure if this is a permissions issue or the way I've edited the sites-available config.
Here is the new sites available config:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /media/Data/webroot
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None .....

I'm now configuring my web server to server different Virtual Hosts based on DNS name. Right now I store my files in /var/www per the default installation settings in Apache.
Questions:
I want to change the Document Root to /home/username/public_html/example1.dyndns.org for the second virtual server. What do the permissions need to be in order for Apache to read the files in this location? Would it be best to force Apache to run as this new username instead of www-data?
My Virtual host setup will look something like this
I want to change the DocumentRoot as I am running a chrooted ProFTPd server and want to be able to update webserver files via FTP. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server (CLI only).

I am on mac os x and whenever I make aliases in my apache config file to point to folders outside of main web document root folder, I get access forbidden. I have chmod -R 777 the whole destination directory (to test it) and still no go. Access forbidden. I have also tried pointing directly to [URL].

I've just updated a server from openSuse 11.0 to 11.4 using zypper dup. The server is running apache2 with mod_python and there is a conflict with the versions of expat being used, this is causing segmentation faults in Apache and the python web pages do not load.The problem is detailed here:ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash - Graham's Project WikiApache is using expat 2.0.1, and python is using 2.0.0.

Integrating a website with my billing agent, they suggest:"Make a directory named 'data' outside the document root of your websiteYour password file (.htpasswd) and others will be stored in this 'data' directory. You must create the data directory outside your web root".How do I get around this and get a browser to access my /data directory and not my /var/www/html/data directory?

I wanted to know is there anyway we can change the document root location /var/www to some other custom location. I tried modifying this location information in couple of conf files in /etc/httpd, but I started receiving lots of error messages from selinux on labelling issues. So I had to revert back.

I have apache httpd server on my Fedora 10I got 2 problems:First : I copied the web page files to its Document Root <var/www/html> & Disabled the default web page. But when I visit http:/localhost ，it shows up the list of files in <var/www/html> as if a ftp server browsed in web page. So how can I set http://localhost load my default web page index.html ?Second :I want to set up a web server on Internet through my router . I applied for DDNS account & input it into router correctly . I set virtual host in server to redirect any access from port 80 to 192.168.1.2:80 in LAN . Just for in case , I also download and running the DDNS software & installed it on PC 192.168.1.2 in LAN . My DDNS provider is oray.cn . It's a Chinese server provider . I don't think there is anything wrong with oray.cn . But if you need its information just visit oray.cn (Google can translate it for you). So I want to know did I miss something to set up a web server in this kind of situation

I'm not exactly new to the linux world. I've been messing with it for six months now. I recently decided to host a public web server out of my home. The is nothing business related merely personal.Now that you have a brief background I will bring you the technical details.I'm apache2 with php, joomla, and mySQL on openSUSE 11.2. a dns server is currently configured. My problem is as follows I set up apache initially and used the default index.html page which simply says It Works. I configured my DNS at the domain registar godaddy.com. After changing the A record to point to my IP the server worked. I then proceeded to install Joomla which installed correctly.Now here is my problem. When I attempt to pull up my domain it appears my DNS is longer working properly and get a DNS error. When I attempt to go directly to IP with my server I still get the initial index.html that says it works. I'm not sure how this is possible and I have cleared all dns info, temp files cookies ect.... I have also had other people test this is as well. I've check my root document pointers for the apache website and they all point to the correct location.
My set up is as follows
Modem
Router
Windows 7 Machine
Sun Microsystems Virtual Box with openSUSE with the network adapter bridged so it can obtain an IP from my router
I'm completely lost at this point and have spent 2 days trying to resolve the issue, any help would be much appreciated. I look forward to everyones reply.

I'm new to Ubuntu and installed Apache, Tomcat and PHP using separate packages. All work well but it seems that the default doc root for Apache and PHP are in different places as:The following command to start Apache: sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start brings me to the "Test Page for Apache Install" and shows the Apache logo--successful--when I hit URl....Also, could someone please tell me how to stop PHP from starting Apache on boot?

I know that I can use the Redirect directive in apache to redirect users to another domain with "Redirect permanent / http://www.newdomain.tld", but when I use that line the entire URL is preserved.
For example, if a user tries to access [url] they will be redirected to [url]. Is it possible to redirect all requests to the root of the new domain [url]?

In my website, I'm putting shared files in a "/global" folder. Both "styles.css" and "library.php" are in this global folder. HTML code seems to be working ok - the following bit works great to pick up a style sheet:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/global/styles.css" /> However PHP does not seem to understand my root directory. Using the following does not work:
Code:
include_once("/global/library.php");
I receive a "failed to open stream: No such file or directory" error.Spelling out the entire full path works, like so:
Code:
include_once("/srv/www/mysite/global/library.php");
But this type of code is no good as I may change servers in the future. I have my "DocumentRoot" set correctly in my sites-available file. It seems as if PHP is ignoring it. Is there a config file someplace (htaccess? Local php.ini?) where I should update my root directory for this site only? Or am I following bad form and there's a better way to do this? Relative paths don't seem like the answer here though...

I have configured apache on my Centos 5.2 and it is working well. I want to have a sym link of my docs directory in /root/ in the apache root directory. I used ln -s command to create this sym link. But when I tried to access this I get the following error:
You don't have permission to access /docs on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
How can I access this directory in apache. i use apache 2.0.63.

We have installed apache 2.2.15 webserver on A rhel 5 Linux 64 box using the user wwwadm group www
We can start the webserver using root and it works fine but we dont have root access forever so we want the wwwadm user to have all the rights and we can start/stop/restart the Apache server using this wwwadm user.

I have been tasked with sending a kill -s SIGHUP (a reload) to a Daemon process owned by root running on a centOS 5.4 machine.
Obviously, Apache cannot normally do this, so I'm going to have to use the sudoers file.
My problem is, how do I allow the Apache user to only run the kill command? nothing else.
in testing, I've gotten Apache to basically run every command prefixed with sudo and no password prompting. But I want the added security to only run the kill command without the password being prompted everything else should prompt for a password.
I'm trying to understand the sudoers file, and i must say, its non-trivial.
is there a simple 1 line I can put in the sudoers file like
PHP Code:
apache ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/kill

I have written a simple perl program to add a command to iptables. Here is my code :
Code:
#! /usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html
";
system("iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.2 -j DROP");
I put this file in cgi-bin folder of Apache server. Here is my problem : when I run this file with shell as root user it makes change to iptables, but when I use my browser to run this file, it doesn't make any change. I'm sure this is because Apache doesn't have permission to manipulate iptables. How can I start Apache as a user with root privileges ?
