[users@httpd] always says "Forbidden", what's the matter?
Hi,
I'm using Apache 2.4.6 on Ubuntu, I have a html file hello.html located in
the /var/www. When I type in http://localhost/hello.html and press return
in the browser, I was always told "Forbidden, You don't have permission to
access /hello.html on this server.". But I have checked everything and can
not understand why it doesn't work. Could you please help me with this
problem? Thank you.

That is 2.2 syntax. The 2.4 syntax is different (
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html) which i why I suggested
copying the existing config.

Isn't apache 2.4 using a new syntax? Instead of
*
**Order allow, deny**
**Allow from all*
to
*Require all granted*
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#run-time
Not really sure if it is backwards compatible. Hope someone
clarifies.Thanks!

Maybe this will work:
<Directory "/home/zh/workspace/">
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Yes, it all works! Thank you very much for your help!
PS: The <Directory> section for Apache 2.4 is:
<Directory /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

Re: [users@httpd] always says "Forbidden", what's the matter?

Based on that error, the server is using /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/ as
the document root and not /var/www.
If you allow Apache to access /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/ or change the
document root, it should work fine.
The easiest way is probably to find the config section that starts with
something like <Directory /var/www and copy it
with /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/ instead.

Yes, I checked, the log only says:"client denied by server configuration:
/home/zh/workspace/testhtml/hello.html". I could not get any idea from this
simple log.

Did you check the error log? It should tell you exactly what the problem is.
