Hi I am newbie,

I did setup my first Debian with apache+mysql-server and PHP, and
every thing working as I want, when type the ip address of my server
and point it to a map in /var/www I can open my test web site.


here is the problem,


I did connect to my server via ssh and then try to down load 2 files
from a site with wget


wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...y-4.1.2.tar.gz


and secound one:


wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...y-3.6.2.tar.gz


after download
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 241227 2004-07-13 01:49
dummy-3.6.2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9424 2007-07-16 21:25
dummy-4.1.2.tar.gz


when I run the
tar xzf dummy-4.1.2.tar.gz


I get this:
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2008-02-01 13:22 dummy-4.1.2


and for


tar xzf dummy-3.6.2.tar.gz


I get this:


drwxr-xr-x 6 www-data www-data 4096 2008-02-01 13:24 dummy-3.6.2


why after runing untar one has root as owner and group and othere one
has www-data as group and ownder


here is the real problem when I move both of this 2 files to my /var/
www I can open deummy 4 in the web browser but when I try to open
dummy 3 I get this error;


Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /shahin/ on this server.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch10 Server at 132.229.35.233
Port
80


I did run:


chown -R root:root dummy-3.6.2


but still not able to open it from web browser.


Any Idea what is going on here?


Thanks shahin

Because TAR try to maintain the original permissions and users, and it
happens that in the machine where the second archive have been created
that user was www-data.

Something make me think that you don't have an 'index.html' page in that
directory and the default configuration is to not show the directory
listing. See apache's error_log.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your update,

I did chacke the /var/log/apache2 and find this:
82.92.160.33 - - [05/Feb/2008:16:09:03 +0100] "GET /shahin HTTP/1.1"
301 335 "-

-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR

82.92.160.33 is window box that I try to open the map /var/www/shahin.

One more question I can open /var/www/cms from the same box on the
same Linux box I did check the access rights there and look like this:

I did change the shahin permission with:

As you see both /csm and /shahin now have the same rights, but still I
get the

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /shahin/ on this server.

Is any work around this issue? or I should download the tar file
othere way?

Thanks,

Shahin

This is not the error_log, it looks like the acces log where the
_request_ are logged, the error log should show which error is
returned.

The index.php is a link to another file, out-of-the-box Apache
does not follow links, but this should be reported in your error_log.

Doesn't matter, as long as the files are readable by everyone.

> Is any work around this issue?

First thing first: found out where is the problem. As I said, it
seems to me that you don't have an index.html file and the directory
listing is forbidden, this will be reported in the error_log, check
that.

Hi Davie,

I did find this in error.log:

[Wed Feb 06 10:55:15 2008] [error] [client 132.229.35.64] Symbolic
link not
allo wed
or link target not accessible: /var/www/shahin/index.php

Any idea?

add FollowSymlinks to the Options directive for your root directory.

(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...html#directory)

Also ensure the file exists and that it is readable by the apache user.
The file itself, not just the symlink.
