Hello
Im running Virtualmin on Amazon EC2 and CentOS

I have mad a virtual sever using virtualmin, then i upload a simple html file there.

Document folder is : Home/Mydomain/public_html

When i try to access my domain, i get 403 error
and in log file i have :
(13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied

Then i tried to add “Excecute” permission to “Mydomain” folder
after i do that, i get 500 Error!
and in logfile i have :

configuration error: couldn’t perform authentication. AuthType not set!: /index.html

Please someone help me here :frowning:
what am i doing wrong?
what changes should i make to make it working?

Thanks

Howdy,

Hmm, normally what you’re doing works out of the box… it sounds like there may be some non-default config settings causing what you’re seeing.

Do you know if the Virtual Server owner attempted to setup authentication for that particular domain?

Hi Eric

Thank you for reply

Do you know if the Virtual Server owner attempted to setup authentication for that particular domain?

No i am not sure, how can i find that out?

is this relevant :

AuthName “mydomain.com statistics”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/mydomain/.awstats-htpasswd
require valid-user

some extra things may help :

I didnt change my DNS name to point to EC2 server yet and im testing it by adding domain name to HOSTS file. is it important? i need to be sure its working before i go for changing DNS.

and here is the VirtualHost section of my httpd.conf

SuexecUserGroup "#503" "#504" ServerName mydomain.com ServerAlias www.mydomain.com ServerAlias webmail.mydomain.com ServerAlias admin.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /home/mydomain/public_html ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/mydomain.com_error_log CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/mydomain.com_access_log combined ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/mydomain/cgi-bin/ ScriptAlias /awstats/ /home/mydomain/cgi-bin/ DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php4 index.php5 Order allow,deny Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI allow from all require all granted AllowOverride All Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch allow from all require all granted AllowOverride All Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =webmail.mydomain.com RewriteRule ^(.*) https://mydomain.com:20000/ [R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =admin.mydomain.com RewriteRule ^(.*) https://mydomain.com:9001/ [R] AuthName "mydomain.com statistics" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/mydomain/.awstats-htpasswd require valid-user Alias /dav /home/mydomain/public_html DAV on AuthType Basic AuthName "mydomain.com" AuthUserFile /home/mydomain/etc/dav.digest.passwd Require valid-user ForceType text/plain Satisfy All RemoveHandler .php RemoveHandler .php5 RewriteEngine off and 10.202.29.240 is my private IP , is that correct?

should i give “Execute” permission to Home/Mydomain/ folder? (which cause error 500)?

i dont know what to do :frowning:

Howdy,

Testing before going live?

You, sir, are very wise :slight_smile:

What is the output of these two commands:

ls -la /home/mydomain/ rpm -qa | grep http

Your config looks normal, but the output of those commands may assist in determining what’s awry.

Howdy,

I find issue! it was a damn tricky one!

I should remove : “Require all granted” because its using Apache 2.2 (not 2.4)

And its working now like a horse ,lol

Thank you for your consideration and help.

Okay, there’s two things I’d start with – you’d want to make some permissions “755” rather than “777”… to do that, run these two commands:

chmod 755 /home/mydomain chmod 755 /home/mydomain/public_html

After that, take a look in the public_html directory there… does it have a .htaccess file in it? If so, what are it’s contents?

You can determine if you have a .htaccess file by running this command:

ls -a /home/mydomain/public_html
