将我的“Sites”文件夹与iCloud Drive同步？

Question

I am worried about my localhost files, so I want to sync them with iCloud Drive. After some attempts to do it all I get on my http://localhost is 403 Forbidden error.

I've tried what I've done with my ~/Downloads folder — just replacing it with an alias to ~/Documents/Downloads , while Documents is syncing with iCloud Drive. But with ~/Sites folder, which is located, moreover, in the same "Home" folder ( ~/ ), it doesn't work.

DocumentRoot "/Users/dafuqtor/Sites"
<Directory "/Users/dafuqtor/Sites">

This is how my localhost directory looks in httpd.conf now. But as I said above, when I just change the DocumentRoot and Directory to "/Users/dafuqtor/Documents/Sites" , I'm getting 403 trying to access http://localhost .

I have looked into /var/log/apache2/error_log . For the first time, it said Cannot serve directory ... server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive , so I added Options +Indexes to httpd.conf . Now error_log gives me this when I'm trying to access localhost:

access to / denied (filesystem path '/Users/dafuqtor/Documents/Sites') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path

Answer 1

Apache normally runs as the user _www , and ~/Documents normally has its permissions set so that nobody but its owner (ie, user dafuqtor ) can access it.

You could solve this by using chmod to give everyone at least execute permission on your documents folder ( chmod o+x ~/Documents ) but I don't particularly recommend this; in combination with a web server it seems to invite mistakes leaving your entire documents directory open to the world!
