Re: Apache 2.4 can not access server sub-directory (Apache Users)

Are you perhaps using httpd on Linux and if so is it a Linux version with selinux?

If that's your scenario, take a look at this, with selinux the file permissions are only half the story, you have to categorize data in other directories by setting the type. I just had to do this, was a bit of a learning curve.

This was helpful for me:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/selinux_users_and_administrators_guide/sect-managing_confined_services-the_apache_http_server-configuration_examples

Obviously if you're not on something with selinux then this wouldn't apply. :)

You don't have permission to access /admin/index.html on this server

I can access index.html in a directory below /admin (server/index.html)
but not the server/admin/index.html

I even change the permission on the index file:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 428 Oct 28 16:44 index.html

I removed .htaccess from server/admin (it doesn't help)

In apache.conf

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
