A consultant is giving me instructions for compiling a second copy of
Apache on my server to listen on a different port from the main
Apache. The second copy resides under /root/httpd, the httpd.conf
file contains the line
DocumentRoot "/root/httpd/htdocs"
so I assume that attempting to browse
http://66.148.71.117:8080/index.html should attempt to load the
contents of /root/httpd/htdocs/index.html. (This webserver is set to
listen on port 8080 so as not to conflict with the main webserver.)
However, http://66.148.71.117:8080/index.html gives "403 Forbidden"
and we can't figure out why. Here's what I know:
"ps auwx | grep httpd" shows several instances of:
apache 4585 1.0 1.7 30656 17932 ? S 14:59 1:11
/usr/sbin/httpd
(the main webserver that was originally on the machine)
and several instances of:
daemon 7199 0.0 0.1 4700 1992 ? S 16:56 0:00
/root/httpd/bin/httpd -k start
which is the test Apache. The permissions on
/root/httpd/htdocs/index.html are:
[r...@sls-ec5p18 bin]# ls -l /root/httpd/htdocs/index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon root 53 Jul 13 11:41 /root/httpd/htdocs/index.html
[r...@sls-ec5p18 bin]#
(that was after I changed ownership of the file to the "daemon" user
to see if that would enable Apache to read it, but it didn't).
and selinux is disabled:
[r...@sls-ec5p18 bin]# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
Since index.html is world-readable, *and* in fact owned by the user
"daemon" (the same user that this custom build of Apache is running
under), any idea why index.html would be bringing up '403 forbidden'?
