Hello

After moving my Root Document to an external partition, I'm encountering the error the error Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.

I believe this to be some kind of perms/ownership issue but I'm having difficulty with even the most permissive of settings as sudo apachectl configtest returns OK.

When I moved index.html, I did so by issuing:
Quote:
sudo rsync -av /var/www/html /media/exthdd1tb/www/html

Subsequently, I also:
Quote:
sudo chmod -R 755 /media/exthdd1tb/www/html

And:
Quote:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/exthdd1tb/www/html


I've tried a few guides I found online where people report similar problems, but I can't seem to get mine to resolve. I've also quite a few times:
Quote:
sudo systemctl reload apache2.


Here are some config details. I'm running Apache/2.4.48 on a Debian based server.

For the configuration files apache2.conf:
apache2.conf now resembles:
Code:
<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /media/exthdd1tb/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>


and added the new location in 000-default.conf and ssl-default.conf:
000-default.conf:
Code:
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        #DocumentRoot /var/www/html < old, default root
        DocumentRoot /media/exthdd1tb/www/html

ssl-default.conf:
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
                #DocumentRoot /var/www/html < old, default root
                DocumentRoot /media/exthdd1tb/www/html


when I run
Quote:
apache2 --versions
I see:
Code:
[Fri Aug 27 22:56:25.942013 2021] [core:warn] [pid 11213] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_RUN_DIR} is not defined

You may try


Code:

source /etc/apache2/envvars
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl -S

I ran the command:
Quote:
source /etc/apache2/envvars

which generated no output.
Then I tried:
Quote:
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl -S

which returned:
[/code]AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
VirtualHost configuration:

I ran
Quote:
sudo cat /var/log/apache2/error.log

and found it was full of lines like:
Code:
[Sun Aug 29 16:01:39.815509 2021] [core:error] [pid 26113] (13)Permission denied: [client 192.168.1.7:54830] AH00035: access to /favicon.ico denied (filesystem path '/media/exthdd1tb/www') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path, referer: http://192.168.1.88/

At the suggest of some other forum posts on like-issues I
Quote:
sudo find /media/exthdd1tb/www -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Quote:
sudo find /media/exthdd1tb/www -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

and even
Quote:
sudo chmod a+rX -R /media/exthdd1tb/www

but I am still unable to load the site without 403'ing. I've also checked the ACLs with
Quote:
getfacl /media/exthdd1tb/www

and see that:
Code:
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: media/exthdd1tb/www
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::r-x

I'm not entirely sure this is correct...

How about temporarily changing the login shell for www-data to /bin/bash, so you can switch user and check out where in the path the permissions problem lies, e.g.
Code:
user@host:~$ sudo chsh -s /bin/bash www-data
user@host:~$ sudo su - www-data
www-data@host:~$ # check access permissions as www-data ...
www-data@host:~$ exit
user@host:~$ sudo chsh -s /usr/sbin/nologin www-data
