I'm running CentOS with Apache httpd V2.0.52-28 and php V4.3.9-3.22.3. This may possibly be a PHP question, but I can't be sure. If I've got the wrong forum, I apologize in advance. On my web server, the document root is configured as /var/www/html. I don't have any problem serving documents from there. There are also a number of subdirectories like "admin", "panel", "recordings", etc. These subdirectories contain some php scripts and other files. I am testing some php sample applications. I created a subdirectory called "samples" and moved the php files into ./samples to keep the document root tidy. Once I did, the sample application stopped working because httpd prohibits access. The application is /var/www/html/samples/directory.php When I run the app, here's what I see in /var/log/httpd/error_log: [error] [client 192.168.168.41] (13)Permission denied: access to /samples/directory.php denied. If I move the file back to /var/www/html, it runs just fine. I originally thought that it might have something to do with permissions, but I've pretty much proven that's not the issue. I also made sure that the file and it's subdirectory were owned by the user running httpd and it made no difference. I also thought that it might have something to do with httpd.conf. Grep'ing httpd.conf doesn't show any entries for the other PHP applications that work correctlty in ./admin, ./panel, etc. So I don't think that it either. Is there something that limits what directories httpd will serve or where PHP applications can reside? Thanks!
