Ubuntu Servers :: Ssh Logout Cause 403 Forbidden Errors
Feb 11, 2011
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)
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
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)
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
before i using fedora 14, i was used fedora 8.... no problem in setting web server, all client (windows XP) can access my resources in var/www/html/index.html but after upgrade to fedora 14.... this is a problem
"forbidden you don't have permission to access.... apache/2.2.16 (Fedora) server at 192.168.1.1 port 80" i had disable firewall also set SELinux to permissive
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.
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 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 apache working,i have users set under admin group in /home/admin/username/html that is with an html publicfolder at the end, now permissions are set right, /html is set to mode 777, and the contents also inside them. But everytime i do a 10.0.11.25/~les i get a damn forbidden error code, its got me so pissed off and i dont' know whats the problem. This is the error i get: Forbidden 403 You don't have permission to access /~les on this server.
Code:

I am moving a webserver from a Gutsy to Lucid server. The webserver works fine, but I am having a problem with the users. I moved the home directories, along with passwd, group, shadow, and gshadow. The users can login fine, and their home directories are fine. The problem is when they try to logout, they get
As a normal user I have activated the functions of the Quit applet, i.e. Logout, Shutdown and Restart are active buttons. I am able to restart or shutdown, no problems. But when I use the Logout button I don't get logged out, just returned to the login shell & I am still logged in as my user. I don't have a display manager installed and I do NOT want to use a display manager such as XDM or GDM. How do I get the Logout button to actually logout the user? It appears I am only getting logged out of the x-session, but I want complete logout.
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've had this server for a while and I've periodically received similar errors, but it's been worse lately. I'm trying to diagnose and similar posts have left me with 2, maybe 3, ideas about what could be wrong. Here is the setup: Ubuntu Server 10.10 maverick kernel 2.6.35-30-server Sans Digital TR8 8 bay raid - 2 port multipliers to esata outputs 8 1TB WD Caviar Black Syba PCI-e card with Sil3124 chipset - 2 external esata inputs I do not use the RocketRaid 622 card that came w/the enclosure because I had problems with drivers and configuration so I went with the SI chipset. The raid is configured with mdadm, level 10, running ext3 file system:
What's odd is that the raid dropped out and completely locked up the computer multiple times, then marked one of the drives as failed. I did a readd on the drive and it rebuilt witout issue. Ran e2fsck -f to clean up the problems it had when it crashed, but as soon as I do heavy read/writes the errors start showing up again. This is primarily a media server for music and movies, but also for backups and printing. Heavy read/writes are generally transcoding movies and music which is what I was doing when it failed.
My mysql server won't start on my machine. It simply fails with no errors. Code: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail]
When I run cat /var/log/mysql.err the file is empty, thinking this might be a permissions issue I tried chowning to a mysql user. Here's the current permissions. Code: ls -alh /var/log/mysql* -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 0 2009-09-30 11:08 /var/log/mysql.err -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 0 2010-01-15 09:07 /var/log/mysql.log -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-25 07:35 /var/log/mysql.log.1.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-24 07:59 /var/log/mysql.log.2.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-23 07:56 /var/log/mysql.log.3.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-22 07:54 /var/log/mysql.log.4.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-21 07:47 /var/log/mysql.log.5.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-20 07:43 /var/log/mysql.log.6.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-19 07:35 /var/log/mysql.log.7.gz

Just installed ubuntu server 11.04 to have a play with. Ran through the installer and selected to setup as a virtual machine host. When booting I get 3 errors
Code: [ 7.847619] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: ======= misaligned reg 0x0060081D === [ 7.847624] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: ======= misaligned reg 0x0060081D === [ 8.651603] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: unknown connector type: 0xff!! === Any insignt into what may be causing this would be well appreciated.
It may be also worth noting that I dont see the grub screen. My monitor reports "out of range" I also did have ubuntu server 10.10 on here previously which installed without issue. (It wasnt actually being used for anything) I'm currently trying a reinstall hoping the errors will go away but any info would be much appreciated.
I have setup the Ubuntu server on Dell Powerdge 2900 (the latest server version 9.XX)I would like to install the 'minimal' X11 package so I have done the following Step1:Quote:
I get an error message that says phpMyAdmin - Error, Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
So I did some googling and found a post here {URL]... which speaks about resetting the ownership of the session directory. However I am wondering how I can find out what the owner if the directory is (if its root or admin or ...)
It's strange because it all worked fine just about two hours ago and I am not sure since I have the server automatically download security updates if there is something it automatically downloaded that caused this. Also how to make the server stop automatically downloading security updated?
Just had a new VPS installed running Ubuntu Server 8.04 Getting some errors when I connect to the server and try to use apt.. only trying to install nano and after messing around I've managed to get the error to change.. but still can't get any further.
error

# sudo apt-get install nano Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
When I restarted one of my servers today and actually worked directly on the system (not through SSH as usual), some weird error messages kept appearing in the console. So I checked the syslog and found several instances of the following lines:
I set up the web/backup server for our department and I'm having some major issues. Firstly, the server seems to be dropping the network connection periodically. I checked all of the logs and it appeared to be an IP6 issue as the only message that seemed to correlate with it was "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" in syslog. I added "ipv6.disable=1" to my boot options in menu.lst and this seemed to take care of the problem. However, I woke up this morning and the server was back down.
This didn't seem to take care of the problem. It seems to occur when my automatic backup scripts go through. I have several BASH backup scripts that use rysnc over SSH to backup several computers to the server and the server to my desktop at home. I was able to trigger the problem a couple of times running the backup script this morning. Now, I'm getting the following error when running the script, instead of losing the network connection:
I tried booting with a previous kernel to see if that was the problem and I'm still getting this error. I've searched through all of the logs that I could think of to try to track down any software based problems and I just don't see anything. In the past, whenever I've run into such serious with a Linux box that popped up out of nowhere, it's always been a hardware failure. I've currently disabled all of the backup scripts and I'm going to see if it lasts through the weekend.
I have a server that, due to the amount of data it's moving, tends to trash up the hard drive when I have a power outage or crash. It doesn't have a keyboard or monitor attached to it normally so it's a real pain when I have to boot it back up. I have to hook one up just to hit F to have it fix all the errors. Is there a way to have it do this automatically on boot rather then having to confirm it?
Why would this iptables cause this mail delivery error? I think it's to do with dns lookups not being routed properly... if remove the last rule, mail works fine.
ssh is also very slow to connect when the last rule is enabled.

The onlything I could find after scrubbing the internet is once ina while there's a missing bracket. But I have checked and triple checked my config files and the syntax and can't find anything wrong. I have another installation of bind9 running on Fedora and the same exact syntax works just fine.
