I have two computers, both running Debian 12.5 with kernel 6.1.0-31-
amd64
Both are running Apache/2.4.62 (Debian), Server built: 2024-10-
04T15:21:08
Both machines show one "/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start" process owned by
root and three owned by www-data.
Both have web pages in /opt/www, not /var/www, so they don't disappear
when I re-install.
Their /etc/apache2/apache2.conf files are identical. The only changes
from the default one are
# <Directory /var/www/>
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride None
# Require all granted
# </Directory>
<Directory /opt/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
My uname "vsnyder" is in the same places in /etc/group* on both
machines, in particular on the "adm" line (and lpadmin as well).
My uid and default gid are the same on both machines.
In /opt/www on both machines, all of the files and directories are
owned by vsnyder:adm
In /opt/www on both machines, the directories' modes are all 755, and
the files' modes are all 644.
Web pages display on one, but not the other.
/var/log/apache2/access.log and /var/log/apache2/error.log show 403
errors on GET lines.
Online pages about this say "check the permissions" and "make sure the
files are owned by a uid with root access."
Any ideas?
