Re: Apache "permission denied"

[gavin.walker@example.com]

The allow directive doesn't do that, it's for host based access restrictions.
What you should probably do is grant ownership of all your web files to a unique
web user who's a member of a unique group, then chmod them so that only the
owner can read/write them, but group and other can read. Any uploads you then do
as that user. Then you run Apache as the standard 'nobody' user, which should
allow it to read the files (as a member of the other group).

Subject:  Apache "permission denied"




My apache server gives me a 403/permission denied error when I try to access
it.

I think this has to do with a change to the file ownership. The files and
the directory used be owned by root, but now I gave them to a specific user.
However I have the following in my config file which I tought should ahve
made the files accessible by anyone:

<Directory "/home/httpd/html/top40">
    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I've tried a few things but none have fixed my access problem. Can anyone
recomend other things I could try to fix this?
