Subject: apache on mandrake 9.1 error 403 forbidden / access?
From: LT (lee@afabco.com)
Date: Wed Jun 25 2003 - 13:47:29 AKDT
I'm dipping a toe into the water on web serving (kicking and screaming,
but that's not relevant).
The goal is to host two web pages, each for a different domain. These
are www.moe.com and www.curly.net.
This box is a Mandrake 9.1 box, everything off of the mandrake install
cd's and updates. I've put in apache 1.3, once again off the mandrake
RPMs. It is currently on it's own isolated network, with a windows box
as client.
I am making the assumption that this is properly done with the
name-based virtual hosting.
When I point a browser to any of the vhost pages, I get the error:
--403 - Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
--
To which I reply under my breath "I'm not %$%&^* trying to access /". Be that as it may....
HELP!
Details:
Here are the apache RPMs installed:
apache-1.3.27-8mdk apache-conf-2.0.44-11mdk apache-modules-1.3.27-8mdk apache-common-1.3.27-8mdk
The permissions and ownerships all seem to be correct. All in the virtual server subdirs owned by apache.apache. All directories are rwxr-xr-x. All html's are rwxr-xr-x. All everything else is at least global readable.
If I comment out the VirtualHost blocks, and put my web contents in /var/www/html (all owned by root, not apache), works fine. Haven't tried it owned by apache.
I have made everything in the /var/www subdir root.root, just in case, but still get the 403 error.
I've listed the current ownerships and permissions below. Vhosts.conf is at the bottom. httpd.conf and commonhttpd.conf are as mandrake installed them.
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

/etc/httpd/conf/vconf/Vhosts.conf (important stuff towards the bottom)
################# Vhosts.conf #This is where we store the VirtualHosts configuration. # #Since Apache 1.3.19, we modified the setup to include some nice tricks: # #- We added the User and Group directives so VirtualHosts now work with # suexec directive. If set, Apache will run all cgi scripts under that # user and group (provided the uid and gid are > 100 for security). The # directories and cgi files *must* belong to that user/group for the # feature to work #- We added the Setenv VLOG directive. This works in conjunction with # the CustomLog in common.conf. When Setenv VLOG is set, apache will # create a /var/log/httpd/VLOG-YYYY-MM-<ServerName>.log instead of logging # to access_log. Use this instead of defining a special logfile for # each vhost, otherwise you eat up file descriptors. #- You can also specify a path for the VLOG for each Vhost, for example, # to place the logs in each user's directory. However, if you want to # use the file for accounting, place it in a directory owned by root, # otherwise the user will be able to erase it. #- I suggest only including the ErrorLog *only* if the vhost will use # cgi scripts. Again, it saves file descriptors! #- We added the Rewrite directives so vhosts will work with the # PERLPROXIED configuration
