Error 403 Virtualmin

Help! (Home for newbies)
1

Hello,

It is my first time with a virtual server, I have a VPS with Virtualmin on Debian 8.
I have configured a domain that I own to be able to host it in this VPS (the domain is lockesoft.ovh), I have the dns configured but when accessing it it shows me the following error:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access this resource.
Visiting different queries that I have found through the forum I have disabled the FirewallD and I have configured the linux firewall to allow port 80, I have checked that the permissions of the folders are 755, but still I cannot access.

This error appears in the log:
[Sun Apr 26 17: 38: 36.903044 2020] [core: error] [pid 22791] (13) Permission denied: [client 81.202.130.227:51626] AH00035: access to / denied (filesystem path ‘/ home / lockesoft’) because search permissions are missing on a component of the path

If you want to access the webpanel, then you should attach “:10000” for virtualmin and “:20000” for usermin.
That has nothing to do with the firewall, so its fine to re-enable that. :slight_smile:

Hello,

thanks for your answer, what I want is that when I access lockesoft.ovh it shows me the html files that I have in the public_html folder.

I can access the virtualmin control panel, but if I try to view the index.html file that I have uploaded it shows me the error.

Thank you

For that you would need to set that setting either in the .htaccess file (create one and upload it) or directly in the vhost file.

Thanks, I have never created an htaccess, can you guide me more or less, or what do I have to modify in the vhost?

I have searched the internet for information about htacces but it is not entirely clear to me, in the end I found an htacces generator and it has generated the following code:
// Rewrite to www
Options + FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond% {HTTP_HOST} ^ lockesoft.ovh [nc]
RewriteRule ^ (. *) $ Http://www.lockesoft.ovh/$1 [r = 301, nc]
I have uploaded it to the public_html folder along with the index.html but it still doesn’t work

If you want to enable the directory listening, you need to put: Options +Indexes into the .htaccess file.
It is possible, that you need to edit the vhost file so that it wont use index.html or similar as the index.
If I recall it correctly, you can archive that with: DirectoryIndex disabled in the .htaccess file.

Depending on what you want to archive, you might need to take a look at:

IndexOptions FancyIndexing

I have been testing what you have told me, apparently everything is correct, since I did not know where to continue I have decided to eliminate the vps and start from scratch, I have done so many tests that perhaps I have touched something that should not.

When creating the vps I have noticed that it shows me several errors that the first time I create it I do not notice, I copy the result of the creation of the vps:

Its seems that the system doesnt have permissions to some necessary folders.
Did you change anything at the folder permissions?

No, I have not changed any of the permissions on the folders

These are the permissions it shows me in / etc / php5 / cgi /:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 22 10:33 conf.d
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72664 Jan 5 2018 php.ini

I think the problem is at the moment when you try to create the folders, because the file you want to copy does have access.

12

In the end I found the solution, since it seemed that it was an error when creating the folder, disable the apache server of the vps, and before I add it again, create the folders with the corresponding permissions.

I reinstalled the apache server and it worked !!

Thank you very much for the patience and time you have dedicated to me !!
