启用虚拟主机时，Apache返回403

Question

I just set up a Cent OS 6 VPS which runs LAMP perfectly until I enabled the virtual hosts. It always returns 403 Forbidden error.

I updated /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as following settings:

<Directory />
#    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
#    Order deny,allow
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
#    Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    #AllowOverride None
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

NameVirtualHost *:80

I have created /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf which is loaded by /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. (I replaced my real domain and username by "mydomain")

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain

     DocumentRoot /home/mydomain/htdocs
     <Directory /home/mydomain/htdocs>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
     </Directory>
     ServerName mydomain
     ServerAlias mydomain
     ErrorLog /home/mydomain/logs/error.log
#     CustomLog /home/mydomain/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

I changed the owner and permissions of both /var/www/html and /home/mydomain/htdocs.

drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 4096 Aug 15 14:23 html

drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 18 10:18 htdocs
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 18 10:37 logs

But now I can't access the virtual host even the root documents (/var/www/html) by IP address. If I turn off (remove) the virtual host, then I can access the pages in the /var/www/html.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

If it's 403 Forbidden Then probably it's permission error, So make sure you apply permissions recursively. Type this in the Terminal

sudo chmod 755 -R /home/mydomain/htdocs

Try this in your conf

<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/site"

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

I just solved the problem by changing the permission of /home/mydomain/ directory to 755 which was 700.

Thanks for Akar's help. He did mention the permissions.
