[users@httpd] Stumped: Apache Permissions, What's Wrong?
I have been fighting an apache server for 2 days, trying to figure out why
this thing keeps denying access to the server. Check out the settings:
<VirtualHost 192.168.15.4:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/phreebooks"
ServerName billing.website.com (omitted for security)
<Directory "/var/www/phreebooks">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
File permissions throughout the entire directory of phreebooks, assigned
with the command
chown -R www-data:www-data phreebooks
drwxr-xr-x 8 www-data www-data 4096 2013-11-26 21:11 phreebooks
&
drwxr-xr-x 5 www-data www-data 4096 2013-11-26 21:57 install
As soon as I reinstalled the webserver, I got the "it works" index.html.
But when I try to run the install script at
billing.webserver.com/install/install.php, I get:
403: You don't have permission to access /install/install.php on this server.
I tried creating a test file, test.php, in the /var/www/phreebooks
directory. It allowed me to access the file, but when I move it into any
subdirectory, It gives the error, above, access denied.
I have tried completely stripping the apache server out, using apt-get
purge [apache packages]. Which everything was removed and then reinstalled.
It is having no effect. I've never had this problem with an apache server,
before. Please let me know if there are any more details you need...

The access control syntax is wrong. Follow the example for your
default DocumentRoot.
It's quite possible you're not hitting this virtual host at all.
Putting a custom access log in there is a good way to tell, as is
lookin at apachectl -S.

This means selinux and fileystem permissions are n/a. See

probably due to the recent changes, better to make them look like the
<Directory> for your original/default DocumentRoot.

Here is my latest, revised config file and it works. Thanks for all the
help, everyone.
<VirtualHost 192.168.15.4:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/phreebooks
ServerName billing.website.com
<Directory /var/www/phreebooks/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

You are using apache 2.2 so Require Allow All should not be there; it is a new
directive in 2.4.
What URL did you use to access your website?

I modified it to look like this, but I've tried this, before to no effect
and it still has no effect, now.
<VirtualHost 192.168.15.4:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/phreebooks
ServerName billing.website.com <http://billing.cajunpcrepair.com>
<Directory "/var/www/phreebooks">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
Require Allow All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

server configuration: /var/www/phreebooks/install/test.php
I also su'd into the www-data user, to make sure it had read/write
permissions on each file. It was able to create files, modify them and
delete them, if that helps.
I don't have SELinux installed.
When I try to access the website, from the local computer, using the
configuration above, this is what I get in error.log:

No mention of an error.log. That's step 1. The error may point you
towards either Apache or OS/filesystem permissions (incl e.g.
SELinux).

Add "Order Allow, Deny" above "allow from all"

The Order directive is missing or if you use apache 2.4 "Require allow all"
and in the last case "allow from all" is gone.
