OK, I've given up on running it on fat32 ... but the problems are still here...
I'm still getting a '403 Forbidden' message plus 'Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.'
The error log says: [Wed Mar 16 08:43:34 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied
Even index.html doesn't show up! WTF! I've set the directory to 777, I've edited httpd.conf as follows:
Duncan,
the message "403 Forbidden" means that its definitely a permissions problem with the directory where you're attempting to serve pages "from". According to your config file apache is running as user "apache" and group "apache". so, the DocumentRoot and everything beneath it should be owned by apache.apache.
chown -Rvf apache.apache /home/dulithgow/www
then, your permissions settings, while set to more than necessary at the moment, should be set to 755, or to be more precise:
all directories: 755
.html files : at least 644
755 preferably
cgi-bin dirs : 755 # if being used
cgi progs : 755>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Add the following line to your config "if" you wish to be able to execute <?php ?> code embedded inside an HTML document.
find:
# If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you # probably should define those extensions to indicate media types: # AddType application/x-compress .Z AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
add: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
should look like this when done: # If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you # probably should define those extensions to indicate media types: # AddType application/x-compress .Z AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz AddType application/x-httpd-php .html <<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Add the following line if to enable .pl scripts outside the "root" cgi-bin directory:
find and uncomment: #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
add: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl <<<<<<<<<<<<
apart from that your apache config file looks normal. but the 403 messages means permissions to read the directory and/or its contents are not allowed because of file permissions.
