Thanks for your help. I think that the problem is file system permissions. My Apache processes are running as user and group "apache", but the data under /home/kdo/working/excessinv is (of course) owned by user "kdo". One "fix" is to set all the permissions on my directories under /home/kdo to 777. It's insecure though. Isn't there a way to tell apache who own's a certain directory? Maybe with the user and group commands in a <Directory> block?
If you need apache to read under certain directory which it has no permission, you need to set all directories with at least exec permission to get there, and the directory of the data, with read permission.
example to the dir /home/data/www 4 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 mar 14 17:58 /home/ 4 drwxr----- 37 data data 4096 abr 7 09:17 /home/data/ If data is set that way.. apache can't get any longer. However 4 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 mar 14 17:58 /home/ 4 drwxr----x 37 data data 4096 abr 7 09:17 /home/data/ 4 drwxr----- 9 data data 4096 abr 7 09:17 /home/data/www/ Now he can't get any longer that /home/data/www 4 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 mar 14 17:58 /home/ 4 drwxr----x 37 data data 4096 abr 7 09:17 /home/data/ 4 drwxr--r-x 9 data data 4096 abr 7 09:17 /home/data/www/ That should be enough to apache to get there, and read the contents. I hope this is helpful
Any help is appreciated! Kevin
