apache2: how to find out why I get a 403 error? - perl

That is from the apache error_log:
[Mon Oct 17 17:55:42 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied
In /etc/apache2/vhosts.d I've created this file:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:3000>
DocumentRoot "/home/mm/lib/vokabeltrainer"
ServerName localhost:3000
<Directory "/home/mm/lib/vokabeltrainer">
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
IndexIgnore *
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) public/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) vokabeltrainer.pl [L]
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The /etc/apache2/listen.conf looks like this:
Listen 127.0.0.1:3000
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:3000
For testing, I've modified the folder like chmod -R 0777 /home/mm/lib/vokabeltrainer
When I run the vokabeltrainer.pl (Mojolicious::Lite script) with morbo development server it works.
Has somebody a clue where I should look?

As Ikegami pointed out, my first problem was that I didn't consider the /home/mm/lib part of the path: the lib-directory didn't have enough rights so I had to ad the needed rights.
Then I changed the path in the shebang form /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl and installed Mojolicious::Lite for the /usr/bin/perl.
The last thing I had to do, was writing the url like this http://localhost:3000/vokabeltrainer.pl/random instead of http://localhost:3000/random.
(In the Pretty "Web 2.0" URLs at mojo/wiki/Apache-deployment is shown a way to keep the short url)

Can not run app using fcgi of perl Dancer

I am testing to deploy the tester example of Dancer using fcgi. But it just didn't work.
I keep getting the error message:
File does not exist: /home/tester/MyApp/public/dispatch.fcgi/
However, this app can run successfully with cgi. And I have made the changes to http.conf according to dancer's deployment manual.
Can someone pointing me to some solutions or possible reasons for this error?
below is the http.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
# /srv/www.example.com is the root of your
# dancer application
DocumentRoot /home/tester/MyApp/public
ServerAdmin you#example.com
<Directory "/home/tester/MyApp/public">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
</Directory>
ScriptAlias / /home/tester/MyApp/public/dispatch.fcgi/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/MyApp-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/MyApp-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Thank you
I don't think that ScriptAlias is what you want to be using. From the documentation...
The ScriptAlias directive has the same behavior as the Alias
directive, except that in addition it marks the target directory as
containing CGI scripts that will be processed by mod_cgi's cgi-script
handler.
Basically Apache looks for a directory called '/home/tester/MyApp/public/dispatch.fcgi/' and every file in this dir is processed through mod_cgi. In this case it can't be found since it's a regular file.
Have you tried using mod_rewrite? My httpd config for Dancer is pretty much the same as yours except I'm using mod_rewrite
DocumentRoot /home/user/src/MyApp/public
<Directory "/home/user/src/MyApp/public">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi #using fcgid instead of fastcgi
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.fcgi$1 [QSA,L]

Mod rewrite virtual host and Zend

My Apache config:
DocumentRoot /var/www
<VirtualHost *:80>
Alias /T "/var/www/Test"
<Directory /var/www/Test>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
#AllowOverride ALL
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
LogLevel debug
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
Alias /N "/var/www/NCAA/public"
<Directory /var/www/NCAA/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride ALL
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel debug
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
My .htacess file in /var/www/NCAA/public:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /N/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
I can go to files in localhost/T, but I get 404 for /localhost/N I get this in my apache log:
[Sun Nov 20 16:32:37 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/N,
so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I want 1 domain to be a regular domain with an alias and the other is a Zend app with a mod rewrute for the index.php
Thanks
Do you really need the NCAA app to be accessed under http://localhost/N? Is it acceptable to access it under a different url, like http://local.ncaa/?
If so, then a virtual host entry could look like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/NCAA/public
ServerName local.ncaa
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
<Directory /var/www/NCAA/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride ALL
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel debug
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Then the standard ZF .htaccess can be used (no rewrite base required):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Apache virtual host on a specific directory

I need my site to have a virtual host on a specific directory for my zend application. When user enters www.example.com it should go to normal document root but when user navigates to www.example.com/cms it should go to /var/www/cms/public which its .htaccess file is like this:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
On localhost I added this lines to /etc/apache/httpd-vhosts.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/cms/public"
ServerName persian_literature
# This should be omitted in the production environment
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
<Directory "/var/www/cms/public">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now http://localhost/ goes to /var/www/cms/public and every thing works. My question is how should I change change above code, to force http://localhost/ to be the normal directory root (so I could use other applications) and http://localhost/cms to be the virtual host?
A virtual host is done at the hostname/domainname level, not at a directory level. You can use an alias to point the URI /cms to some other directory on your server by putting
Alias /cms /var/www/cms/public
in a .conf file (this will not work in .htaccess)
Maybe a symlink (symbolic link)? You still should have the entry of course. And you'll have to put in the config (vhost config I think, maybe .htaccess) that apache should follow the symlink.

How to install Symfony framework on shared hosting account?

I have a questions while install Symfony framework on my shared hosting account.(hostmonster)
I can access SSH now, but I can not access httpd file.
so, I do not know how to set below setting using command line.
**
<Directory "/$data_dir/symfony/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myapp.example.com
DocumentRoot "/home/steve/myproject/web"
DirectoryIndex index.php
Alias /sf /$data_dir/symfony/web/sf
<Directory "/home/steve/myproject/web">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
**
,
I tried this,
**
chmod 777 /home1/myaccount/php/data/symfony/web
chmod 777 /home1/myaccount/public_html/symfony/web
**
But nothing changed.
when access mydomain.com, it show like this
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
/*
* This file is part of the symfony package.
* (c) Fabien Potencier <fabien.potencier#symfony-project.com>

*/
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
include(sfCoreAutoload::getInstance()->getBaseDir().'/command/cli.php');
Please advice me how should I do .?
Thanks!
You need to enable mod_rewrite on your apache instance. If you cannot access the httpd configuration file, then you should create a .htaccess file in your web root.
Here is an example .htaccess file typical with symfony installs:
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
# getting no_script_name to work
#RewriteBase /
# we skip all files with .something
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
#RewriteRule .* - [L]
# we check if the .html version is here (caching)
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# no, so we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
If you are seeing
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
/*
* This file is part of the symfony package.
* (c) Fabien Potencier <fabien.potencier#symfony-project.com>
*
* For the full copyright and license information, please view the LICENSE
* file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
include(sfCoreAutoload::getInstance()->getBaseDir().'/command/cli.php');
when you head to yourdomain.com, you simply do not have PHP enabled. You may not even have it installed. A quick check is to create a file called info.php and put the following as it's contents
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Upload info.php and navigate to yourdomain.com/info.php. If you are seeing the code you just entered you do not have php installed or enabled on your server. If you see a massive list of configuration items than I'm wrong.

404 error for mod_rewrite using SSL and MAMP

I am building an app in Zend Framework at the moment and testing it all locally. I have Mamp Pro as my web server and I have a self-signed SSL which all seems to work. My problem comes when I try to do mod_rewrite - I just get 404 pages.
The way I have things set up (which may not be the best way...)
In Mamp I have 2 virtualhosts set up both pointing to the same web directory (webroot/public/):
secure.myapp.com
myapp.com
In my public directory is my index.php file and my .htaccess file. The contents of the .htaccess file are:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
When I visit http://myapp.com everything routes as it should using the mod_rewrite. But when I go to https://secure.myapp.com the index page is fine, but URL routing stops working and it appears to be that the .htaccess file is being ignored.
In my ssl.conf I have the following:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl
SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin
SSLSessionCache dbm:/Applications/MAMP/logs/ssl_scache

SSLCertificateFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl_cert/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl_key/server.key
CustomLog /Applications/MAMP/logs/ssl_request_log \
"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
Does anybody have any ideas on this? I'll be sooooo appreciative of the help as it's seriously hindering my development!
Well I'm pretty sure that I have got this working. Basically, a big problem I had is that Mamp does not store vhosts.conf as an accessible file. Instead this is an aliased application file.
I think what happens is that the virtualhosts are all dynamically created all on the standard http port, in my case 80. However I needed to be able to access the port 433 vhost config to enable FileInfo. So my workaround is to ditch my .htaccess file and stick the following ALL into my ssl.conf file.
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl
SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin

RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [NC,L]

</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
I had to add DOCUMENT_ROOT in front of my file and directory checks, and a forward slash in front of index.php. If I could have put this into a "Directory" then I think I could have avoided these changes, but Apache won't restart when I add this parameter.
The only thing I didn't try was adding the info to MAMP's httpd.conf, but I have a feeling the same restrictions may be in place.
