The Server Message is:

I make a symlink from a directory inside of my pubilc_home to his.
Wow that works. But only that way. Why not the direct one ?

Any tips or hints ?
All rights (permissions) are set, otherwise the symlink wont work.

thx for help

ps: a restart after editing httpd.conf doesnt matter the problem.

Just change your Order allow,deny inside the <Directory> containers to Order deny,allow - and hopefully, you're done

[msgbeep]

question is: why does it goes well with the order in my friends directory and not in mine ?

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cromatic/gwsig/ on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu2 with Suhosin-Patch Server

is suhosin the problem ?

[Joe User]

Permissions probably set?

[msgbeep]

are u kidding ?
directories are set to rwx--x--x
files are set to rwxr-xr-x

You know what a symlink is.
/home/cromatic/public_html/test -> /home/friendshome/public_html/test
When I call the IP/friendshome/test i see my site
When I call the IP/cromatic/test the above error occur.

I do not understand why!

I have installed webmin on that system.
Could it be possible that webmin does any changes that do the trick by my friends home ?
Before webmin was installed, all gone fine with both accounts.

I will hand me webmins access to check webmins stuff for any kind of settings could be fail for me probably.

You are supstecting suhosin. Is there any difference requesting a php-script or a static file like something\.gif|css?
Are you running suexec?

[Joe User]

are u kidding ?

not realy

directories are set to rwx--x--x
files are set to rwxr-xr-x

sure? the permissions for the directories are wrong. to repair them:

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/alias
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644

[msgbeep]

does not solve the problem !

the issue why files need 755 is a security reason.
when they have 644 the same error occurs.

doenst fuond any differences or other kind of unnormal things under webin.

suexec isnt loaded!

[msgbeep]

solved

was an UTF8 control char inside the Directory description of the vhost part.

thx anyways for your patient

[Joe User]

nice! please write a bugreport for apache, thanks.
