RE: Permission Still Denied with Moodle

Yehuda,

Thanks for you replies.  I will set the timezone as you suggest.  I also disabled mod_autoindex by commenting out the "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks" line in the httpd.conf file.  However, it doesn't help the situation.

You may be right about the IP4 & IPv6 idea.  I have a strange network card that has two ports with cables leading to the motherboard, the likes of which I've never used before.  I ran nestat on the two boxes behind my router and got this.
On my other box running Fedoa 11, the netstat command says 
TCP     0      0   :::8080 :::* LISTEN    5418:java
On the Fedora 19 box:
tcp6       0      0   :::80     :::*    LISTEN      11739/httpd     

Does that tcp6 mean IPv6?  I'm not sure.  Then I read this on Apache about IPv4 and IPv6:

If you want Apache to handle IPv4 connections only, regardless of what your platform and APR will support, specify an IPv4 address on all Listen directives, as in the following examples:
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen 192.0.2.1:80
If your platform supports it and you want Apache to handle IPv4 and IPv6 connections on separate sockets (i.e., to disable IPv4-mapped addresses), specify the --disable-v4-mapped configure option.
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/bind.html)

SO I tried:
#Listen 80
Listen 192.0.2.100:80

But got this error and Apache failed to start.

I'm not sure how to use that configure option '--disable-v4-mapped'.  Where does that go?  It seems like a start up script flag, but I use systemctl to start httpd.  I couldn't find an example of how to use that.  Will that add IPv4 address listening?

Now that I am at the computer, a more in-depth reply.

However, changing that value to '$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://*my*.*ip*.*goes*.*here*:80/moodle';" and going to http://*my*.*ip*.*goes*.*here*:80/moodle doesn't.  Google Chrome removes the :80 for some reason from the address bar (Firefox doesn't)

Because the :80 is redundant according to Chrome because 80 is the "well-known" port for http.
 

and it takes almost a minute to come back with the "Oops!" message, as if the server is not on.

That is because the request is not rejected or accepted, it just times out.
 

The full httpd error log for the problem can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/WuF1xsD3

The first error from which is:

[autoindex:error] [pid 4396] [client 127.0.0.1:40388] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive, referer: http://localhost/moodle/login/index.php

Server generated directory index is talking about mod_autoindex and for a production system, it should be disabled unless you specifically need it.
You need to see why the login page is redirecting you to the wrong place. I imagine that after login, you should be redirected to /moodle, not / as the error log indicated is happening.

Also, I recommend you set your timezone in php.ini as mentioned in the error log. It will save you from some odd situations where date functions don't work properly.

Why is it then forbidden to serve something to the web that is OK for localhost?

The error log does not indicate that this is the case. To the contrary, every entry in the log that references a client says the source is 127.0.0.1 (a.k.a. localhost).


The Linksys WRT54C router using Automatic Configuration DHCP is set as follows:

Port Range

Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable

Apache httpd    80 to 80 Both 192.168.1.100 Check  

Apache Tomcat 8080 to 8080    Both 192.168.1.126    Check  

(Both means TCP and UDP)

Can you take the linksys out of the picture by accessing 192.168.1.100 from another computer inside your network?


Taking moodle out of the picture and running strace on http://211.220.31.50/test.html cuases the same error.  So it's not a Moodle problem.

Since this thread has mentioned several different errors (permissions, DirectoryIndex, timeout) which one are you referring to?
 

netstat -ln | grep 80

tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN     

unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     18068    @/tmp/.ICE-unix/1205

unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     18069    /tmp/.ICE-unix/1205


As I mentioned, your IPv4 address is not listed here...
