trq Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is always empty be default on Debian, your configuration is within /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Can I see the output of... ls -l /var and ls -l /var/www ?

trq Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 /var/www shouldn't be your servers document root so I'm really not sure why you have so many files in there. We need to see any virtual host configs you have. There within /etc/apache2/vhosts (or similar, I'm not at my servers).

trq Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Your current virtual host configs are within sites-enabled. You seem to have a pretty messed up setup though hehe. I think the main issue seems to be that your trying to use /var/www as your document root, where really it should be something like /var/www/sitename (though that should still work). Still, we need to see your virtualhost configs.

steviewdr Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It looks to me like a web control panel is installed ( webmin ). This can hook in scripts and config files into all sorts of places. It will take a bit of time to weed out all the custom configs webmin put in. If you use or used a webmin web control panel for your server, I suggest you google an uninstall how-to for webmin/web control panel. -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166919-forbidden-you-dont-have-permission-to-access-on-this-server/#findComment-881141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
