hi! i am using apache as my webserver and i have a problem accessing my php files in my browser, it used to work properly until i think I messed up things. now i don;t know what to do. T_T everytime i open my php files which are on /var/www/htm/ it gives me the permission denied error. i think i messed up with the chown and chgrp i typed all these before this happened: i think giving root the right to all apache resources. i probably was not able to do it properly. ------------ # chown -R root:root /usr/local/apache # find /usr/local/apache -type d | xargs chmod 755 # find /usr/local/apache -type f | xargs chmod 644 # chmod -R go-r /usr/local/apache/conf ->>im not too sure what this does. # chmod -R go-r /usr/local/apache/logs -------------------------------------- i wanted to change permissions so that my apache could create a file. now it forbids me to do anything. even if i check on the status of my httpd: /usr/sbin/apachectl status It gives me this error: Forbidden You dont have permission to access /server-status on this server. Same error is given when i try to access my http://localhost/ in the browser: Forbidden You dont have permission to access / on this server. -------------------------------------- Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at localhost Port 80 In the httpd/logs/error.log it gives me these errors: - (13)Permission denied: access to /denied - (13) Permission denied: access to /favicon.ico denied It seems to restrict me to access anything.. please help, how do i revert back to normal? i need this to work properly again. I know it has something to do with the permission, when i run the httpd it cannot get through / on the server even.. thank you so much, tinks -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Permission-Problem-tp30593599p30593599.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
