Ubuntu Servers :: Apache Forbidden 403 Easy Fix?
Jun 14, 2010
I am using the Desktop Version of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, but I am posting here because I think all of you server guru's can help me. I am setting up my desktop as a mobile development server. I am hoping to eventually have it work with an intranet. Anyways I am trying to configure this and I hit a snag.
I have a 403 forbidden error. I've read around and I thought it might have something to do with SELinux
Here is my Virtualhost file
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName starace
DocumentRoot /home/chris/public_html
[Code]...

Since I upgraded to 11.04 on my Server edition I have been experiencing some problems with my FTP-server and Apache. Apache just says that the page is "forbidden" if I'm not logged in on the server, which means I need to go to the server and physically log in or I can do it trough ssh but then when I close my ssh client on my work computer the page is "forbidden" again. And I cant seem to reach the FTP-server from an external address so I need to be in the network to access it.
It says something like:
Code:
An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder.
200 Switching to ASCII mode.
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,194,233,166)

the hard drive on my web server died so I replaced it and installed Fedora 15. I have been installing the OS on a small drive and then mounting other drive(s) for storage and did the same thing here. The problem is that I cannot get Apache to follow symlinks. Apache is partially working, it will serve my index.html page in the web page root directory and I made another directory called webtest and put some files in, and that worked fine. I made a symlink from the root directory to a folder on the mounted drive but when I try to access it, it gives me the old 403 Forbidden error. I also made a similar link in the webtest directory, I can view the other files in that directory but it does not show the link - also, trying to force it by typing the full path in the browser gives the same 403 error.
I have checked the permissions and SELinux types (using ls -Z) and they seem to be fine and I cannot find any .htaccess files. All the files on the mounted drive are owned by www:www but I also tried setting the user and group to www in httpd.conf and it still gave the same issue, so I changed them back to apache. I've been reading posts and sites on this for hours now and I'm still lost. I can post results of log files if they are of any use, I just wasn't sure what to post because it is somewhat working.

I've installed webdav on my server and I can access it fine through cadaver. However, when I try to access it via nautilus, I get Forbidden. It is NOT secured (SSL). When I try to access it via firefox, I get an error since I DO NOT have "Options Indexes" in my apache config file. If I add this option in, then I can browse the root direction and webdav folder via firefox, but still not from nautilus. what other information you need. I've googled and searched the forums for awhile, but not "solutions" I found have worked for me. I want the webdav folder to just be a single folder within the direction, so this is how I have my config file setup:
[Code]....
As a side-note...when I included "Option Indexes", it allowed me to view the passwd.dav file from firefox!That doesn't seem very good...

I am installing Big Brother on a CentOS 5.2 running the default Apache 2.2.3. When I try to access any web page I get the following error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /bb/ on this server. Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at fmsubbnix Port 80 So far I have:
1) Set the Directory options to FollowSymLinks
2) Verified all directory and file permissions are at 755
3) Set permissions temporarily to 777 and received same error so I am assuming the issue is in a config file somewhere
4) in hhtpd.conf verified <Files ~ "^.ht"> is correct
5) verified the "default" directory is correct (/var/www/html)
I have read and tried several ideas in posts listed on the web but to no avail and am at a loss as to what to look for next..

I am trying to get an internal webserver running and I am having issues with php. When I make a file (index.php) it runs perfectly. I can use PHP superglobals for the most part but the minute I use 'name' (ex: 'index.php?name=someone') I get a 403 forbidden. I thought for a while that it was something with all superglobals but if i change the code to use another variable it works fine.
works: ('index.php?person=fedora')
Code:
<?php
echo 'Hello ' . $_GET['person'] . '!';
?>
403 forbidden: ('index.php?name=fedora')
[Code]...
I have no idea if this is a apache issue, a php issue or something else random. I disabled SElinix in attempts to fix this, changed the owner and group to me and root and nothing seemed to have any effect. I also checked the document permissions in the httpd.conf and they all look correct.

this costed me a whole day of trying and retrying. I set up a small home server with apache, php, and mysql.
System infos:
Linux 2.6.31-22-generic-pae
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Server edition
Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu)
Until now, it served happily a couple of sites, with no problems. But now, I wanted to set up my ftp server to point to the same directory as one of the sites, for me to be able to upload and manage files via ftp. As a server I normally use proftpd. With my usual config, proftpd runs with its own user and simulates the user ftpuser:ftpgroup when creating files. So I just changed all the files to be owned by this user and group. Permissions set to 770.
Everything works fine, and I'm able to access the data via ftp. BUT, when I try to browse my site the usual way (i.e. point firefox to its address) a 403 forbidden error is issued. Of course, you will say: you didn't allow access to apache. Well, I remembered that right away, and added the user www-data to the ftpgroup user. Now I espect apache to be able to read and serve the files.
Still same problem. 403. The apache error log is full with "permission denied" errors. After many attempts, I logged in as the user www-data, and tested access to the files. This way I'm able to cd into the directory, and read-write the files with nano. As a test, I tryed the other way around. Setting www-data:www-data as the owner of the files, and adding the ftpuser to the www-data group. This way apache works, but proftpd does not. Most probably it has something to do with a misunderstanding of groups permissions or the way this two deamons access the files.

I have searched the forum high and low for the solution with no success, so I will now post this problem, with all known facts. Linux (and Fedora) is brand new to me so I'm somewhat illiterate with the language and recommendations from reading other threads. Please bare with me. I'm reading the book Beginning PHP and MySQL from Novice to Professional by Cristian Darie.The book has you create an Alias directory for creating the tshirtshop web-based application.
The book uses the directory /home/username/tshirtshop. However, I did not want this in the /home directory, so I created a new directory from the root directory /workspace/tshirtshop. Below are the areas of interest in the file httpd.conf (I restarted the httpd service each time I edited this file):
Code:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

It appears the liblphp.so and liblpssl.so files that have been added to /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ and the php.ini are 32 bit libraries. This is preventing them from loading as PHP and it's other modules are all built as 64 bit libraries. To resolve this error, I would recommend re-building the libraries as 64bit. Most likely this can be done using Easyapache to re-build PHP (and Apache) to support these modules. Additionally, libcrypto and libssl are on the server in /usr/lib/ folder. However, they are 64bit libraries which may not work on the 32bit .so files you have provided.

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 have strange problem on my wordpress-powered blog.while i'm connecting to server by ssh or physical console, everything works fine.however, when i tries to logout almost immediately 403 forbidden error pops up on every pages of my website.if there are two or more connections (like physical console and ssh terminal), terminate one of them does not cause 403 forbidden. but it shows 403 forbidden error page right after i terminated all connections.i can find two types of error in apache error.log while it shows 403 forbidden page.
Code:
(13)Permission denied: access to / denied
Code:
(13)Permission denied: /home/user/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable(one strange part is my DocumentRoot is /home/user/www not /home/user)i gave 755 permission to all files and directories in DocumentRoot(which is /home/user/www), but still apache show me the forbidden error page right after logout.i use ubuntu 10.04 lts and i use apt-get command to install all package that i'm using now (apache,mysql,php,mrtg,snmpd,vsftpd,ssh,etc).these are my virtual host config file and apache2.conf. (httpd.conf is empty)
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/user/www/
<Directory /home/user/www/>

Long story Short, I had to reinstall 9.10 (after a failed 10.04 upgrade) and therefore fresh install of everything.
I installed Apache2 as per [URL] and all works fine.
Changing the root in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to a folder in my home directory /home/user/subfldr1/www results in a forbidden 403 error.
I've tried changing group owner, given 777 permissions, read and tried all sorts of solutions, but nothing seems to be working.

I am still a newbie at Linux, but have managed to get about 6 different Kubuntu systems up and all running a localhost test web server. I always start out with a server .iso and after installing I add a kubuntu desktop GUI. I have an old laptop that was running 8.04 server w/xubuntu desktop gui and it was running my test web pages through localhost. I got a wild hair and thought it was about time to upgrade to 10.04 server. I always do a complete install and this time I tried lubuntu desktop GUI. I really like lubuntu but for some reason can not get localhost to run. I get a 402 forbidden error. same error with 127.0.0.1 Here is what I get when I run this command

i wanted to auto-start apache and mysql each time the server is turn-on so i read some document on the net that explaining how to do that - and it's good - the services are loading when the OS start.(as i said in the subject - i switched the runlevel 5 of httpd service to ON mode instead of the default - OFF)
BUT! the problem is that after i did it - for all of my apache's virtual-hosts i'm getting 403 - Forbidden notice.
when i doing it manually, mean, the server is load and then I'm logging-in with root user and do: 'httpd -k start', it's running perfectly.
i have hard filling that this 'runlevel 5' setting run the apache under user without permissions to those virtual-host folders (they're under 755 mode).
the mysqld service running ok with the runlevel 5 configuration! (2) - i'm using Fedora 12

I have a web server set up, and for a while I just let it show the default "test" page, but now I am wanting to actually show something of my own.
I downloaded a couple templates from the internet (free ones), and copied the first one to the /var/www/html folder (including subfolders for ./images and such), and it used an index.php file, but when viewing in my browser, it showed the actual text of the file, not the graphics and images and stuff.
So I deleted those files and "installed" the second template, which uses an index.html file instead.
I am once again getting the default "Apache is running but not configured" page again, even though I have verified multiple times that the index.html file is located in /var/www/html
if I include the index.html file in the path to my website, I get a 403 Forbidden, so I'm thinking it has to do with file ownership or permissions.
I placed the files there as "root", and have tried several combinations of possible permissions (root:root is the owner:group) without any luck.

I have installed Redmine according to the instructions on [url] according to the mod_cgi instructions which seem to be the easiest to follow.
The script installed in the installation directory was called 'dispatch.fcgi', and not parsing when I visited the page through the browser, just displaying the contents of the script. OK, so I installed the apache mod libapache2-mod-fastcgi using apt-get. Then 'a2enmod fcgid' followed by an apache restart.
Now when I visit the Redmine folder through the web browser I get 'Forbidden You don't have permission to access /redmine/dispatch.fcgi on this server.'
I checked to ensure www-data owns all files and has correct permissions to the folder. But this doesn't seem to work.

Using httpd - everything usually works but I have written a cgi script and placed in cgi-bin but i cannot access this dir and keep getting forbidden messages. I have tried adding my root and usual user to the /etc/group file against the user stipulated in the httpd.conf file but i still can't access the cgi script i wrote (in browser - localhost/cgibin/myscrippt.cgi) when i place it in the cgi-bin under htdocs. i have also chmod 755 directory and files.

I am running a few virtual domains on Apache/Fedora 9. I have some domains working fine but when I tried to put up another one today I get "Directory index forbidden by Options directiveL : /home/jek/www/AAA/" Now here's the weird part. That message appeas in the error log for domain AAA, whereas the new domain is BBB and has it's own log files defined in httpd.conf. On the browser the Fedora test page is displayed. SELinux is turned off.

I have Webmin installed on an Ubuntu server. I currently have a successful apache server running on port 80, however I want to create a virtual host on port 81. When I try I go to servers->Apache Webserver-> Create Virtual Host I change the port to 81 and the document root to /var/port81www then I click create. How ever when I goto 192.168.1.5:81 (local ip, I know I have to port forward but its not even working local) it does not work.

I've run into a problem and I don't know if it's apache or php or the combination of both. I can compile apache 2.2.15 just fine, but whenever I try to compile php 5.3.2 into my server, the first two steps work just fine but when I get to the make install part it shows the libphp5.so and it just stays there and I have to cancel the install because it won't finish.

just switched our company from windows server to linux and everything is going good except we have 4 vpn connections though out the country coming to our server. All giving the client machines ip addresses of 192.168.x.x based on where they are located 192.168.1.x for the main location 192.168.2.x for a second location etc, and IIS could see the clients ip instead of the wan ip and was setup to block all ips except 192.168.x.x ip's and this worked great.
So i set up apache the same way, to allow only 192.168 ip's but i guess it doesn't work that way in apache for connections coming though vpn? 2 out of our 4 VPN connections are not static IP's, so the 2 that are I just add that ip to the allow list and that worked.But i don't think we should HAVE to get static ips for the other 2, that's one of the benefits of using VPN, especially if our old windows server didnt need it.Is there any way for apache to see the clients ip address for access or is there something somewhere else that needs changed for this?

My Server is 8.04 (hardy) and Apache is 2.2.8. I have been receiving emails from Apache each time a new stable release is available, most of which say you should install them due to security issues. The current stable release of apache being offered is 2.2.17
Q1) Do you recommend I upgrade from Apache 2.2.8 to 2.2.17?
Q2) Does this come automatically with my regular updates via Update Manager once the Ubuntu community thinks its stable enough (it appears that it doesn't)?
Q3) What is the best way to install the update?
Q4) Any concerns about installing it into a live environment? I don't have a development platform to try it in first.
