无法访问复制到/ var / www /或其他文件夹的php文件

Question

I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 with LAMP setup. I copied a subdirectory which has project files (php, html, css) from xampp/htdocs on my Windows PC into /var/www/ of my ubuntu. However, when I access those files from browser (I can see the directory listing), I get 403 Forbidden on all files within that directory. So I create new dummy php files within that directory just to see if I can access, and it works. Any idea what might be the problem?

Answer 1

may be a ownership problem. try do chmod -R 775 /var/www/folder and/or chown -R domain:www-data /var/www/folder - where domain is the user of that particular virtualhost or www-data

for directory listing you may want to modify in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

+Indexes

Answer 2

This is how I solved the issue:

sudo su
chmod a+rwx /var/www/html/
