[users@httpd] Alias and user directories gives 403 errors
Hi.
I'm trying to duplicate a server setup from one machine running Redhat
9.0 and Apache 2.0.44 to a machine running
Red Hat Enterprise 2.6.9-5.0.5.Elsmp and Apache 2.0.52
The machine was setup, and Apache test page works correctly, tarred over
relevant user directories and Apache conf.d files. This setup works fine
on the old machine.
With UserDir disabled, we use an alias file in conf.d to change /~atx/
to /home/atx/public_html/
Whenever we try to connect to it, 403 errors are given.
Access to /home/atx/public/ is 755 for all directories, home owned by
root, atx & below by atx
To test this I enabled UserDir, but get the same errors for anything
from a user directory.
If I copy the atx directories under the document root, everything works.
If I put a symbolic link to a user directory under document root, it
gives a 403.
Can't find anything relevant on web search (403 is file usually file
permissions, which seem to be correct), or apacheforum.net.
Any help that you can point my way would be greatly appreciated.
Permissions are
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 17 15:38 home
drwxr-xr-x 28 atx atx 4096 May 17 11:55 atx
drwxr-xr-x 5 atx atx 4096 May 17 14:32 public_html
-rwxrwxr-x 1 atx atx 839 May 17 11:55 hello.php
Httpd.conf is straight from the box.
Atx.conf is

This is probably due to the SELinux policy - please see, e.g:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/sn-user-homedir.html
there is RHEL-specific SELinux information in the RHEL documentation,
too.

joe
