Directory Location question


mike2

Recommended Posts

I want to be able to search for PDF files but this time instead of them being run from the /var/www/html/pdf2 directory, I want to see if I can run them from the /home/wvbadmin/pdf2 directory.

 

I just tried doing that and when I typed in my example word 'test' to do it. I got this error message:

 

 

Search Results

ERROR: Could not open the index file '/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e': Permission denied

 

Here is my modified code:

 

I want to be able to search for PDF files as well as the ability to be linked up to each PDF file respectively.

 

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
  <?php if (!isset($_POST['q'])) { ?>

    <h2>Search</h2>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>">
      <input type="text" name="q" size="30" />
    </form>

  <?php } else { ?>

    <h2>Search Results</h2>

  <?php
    try {
      // create object
     // $swish = new Swish('/usr/local/apache/htdocs/swish/index.swish-e');
        $swish = new Swish('/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e');


      // get and run query from command-line
      $queryStr = htmlentities($_POST['q']);
      $result = $swish->query($queryStr);
  ?>

    Found <?php echo $result->hits; ?> match(es) for '<?php echo $queryStr; ?>'
.
  <?php
      // iterate over result set
      // print details for each match
      while($r = $result->nextResult()) {
  ?>

  <p>
    <?php echo $r->swishreccount; ?>
    <strong>
      <a href="<?php echo '/pdf2', ltrim($r->swishdocpath, '.') ;  ?>">
         <?php echo $r->swishdocpath; ?>
      </a>
    </strong> (score: <?php echo $r->swishrank; ?>) <br/>
<?php echo $r->swishdocpath; ?>

  </p>

  <?php
      }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      die('ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage());
    }
  }
  ?>

  </body>
</html>
 

 

What I don't get is why will it work in the /var/www/html/pdf2 directory but not for the /home/wvbadmin/pdf2 directory? I get a permisssion error as shown above. I want to grab and search the PDF files from that particular directory.

 

I am able to connect to the PDF files now. But my question is if I wanted to change the directory to /home/wvbadmin/pdf2 and grab those PDF files from there. Would I be able to do it? If so how?

You should set permissions of 755 to "/home/wvbadmin/" to let the php parser to read and execute documents/files contained therein.

 

My suggestion is:

 

su -c 'chmod 755 /home/wvbadmin/ -R'

 

or

 

sudo chmod 755 /home/wvbadmin/ -R

I did that and I am still  getting the same permissions denied error.

Open up a linux console (as a regular user) and run (copy/paste) the following command.

php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.pdf",true));'

What linux distro is that?

The Linux distribution I am using if Linux CentOS 6.5.

 

What is this command going to do?

I ran the command. Just like you told me to do and here is the output.

 

I ran it twice.

 

Here is the output for first time I ran it with the lowercase .pdf

php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.pdf",true));'

Here is the second time I ran it with the uppercase .PDF

php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.PDF",true));'

Open up a linux console (as a regular user) and run (copy/paste) the following command.

php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.pdf",true));'

What linux distro is that?

Is there something in my PHP script that I should change?

I also took a look at the error logs and the access logs and here is what I discovered:

 

For the error logs I found this error:

 

[Mon May 05 02:46:35 2014] [error] [client 109.91.170.175] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/

 

It is obviously not working otherwise I would be able to see the most recent time.

 

Here is the access log:

 

64.244.240.213 - - [05/May/2014:11:24:05 -0500] "POST /pdfsearch2.php HTTP/1.1" 200 157 "http://64.244.240.221:8080/pdfsearch2.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0"

I am on CentOS as well. Next step is to login into a shell as apache user and run the same code. Open up the console again, login as root and then change the shell prompt to apache user. I want to check who has permissions therein.

[jazz@centos-box ~]$ su -l root
password: 

[root@centos-box ~]# su - apache -s /bin/bash
-bash-4.1$ whoami
apache

-bash-4.1$ php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.PDF",true));'

If you get all pdfs as in the example above then you'd need to enable the userDir directive in apache conf file, if not I need to see the output of:

ls -la /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/

Where would my apache configuration file be? I did a yum install of Apache. Plus how would I go about enabling the userDir directive in that Apache configuration file?

 

Here is what I did:

 

[wvbadmin@zeus ~]$ su -l root

Password:

[root@zeus ~]# su - apache -s /bin/bash

-bash-4.1$ whoami

apache

-bash-4.1$ php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.PDF",true));'

Where would my apache configuration file be? I did a yum install of Apache. Plus how would I go about enabling the userDir directive in that Apache configuration file?

 

Here is what I did:

 

[wvbadmin@zeus ~]$ su -l root

Password:

[root@zeus ~]# su - apache -s /bin/bash

-bash-4.1$ whoami

apache

-bash-4.1$ php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.PDF",true));'

I am on CentOS as well. Next step is to login into a shell as apache user and run the same code. Open up the console again, login as root and then change the shell prompt to apache user. I want to check who has permissions therein.

-bash-4.1$ php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.PDF",true));'

If you get all pdfs as in the example above then you'd need to enable the userDir directive in apache conf file, if not I need to see the output of:

ls -la /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/

Disregard the last post. I found the apache configuration file. How would I enable the userDir directive?

I am on CentOS as well. Next step is to login into a shell as apache user and run the same code. Open up the console again, login as root and then change the shell prompt to apache user. I want to check who has permissions therein.

[jazz@centos-box ~]$ su -l root
password: 

[root@centos-box ~]# su - apache -s /bin/bash
-bash-4.1$ whoami
apache

-bash-4.1$ php -r 'print_r(glob("/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/*.PDF",true));'

ls -la /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/

I just found where my Apache configuration is found. Would creating a symbolic link work in this situation? If so where would I create the link?

I just went into the Apache configuration file and enabled the UserDir directive and wrote/quit or :wq the file. I tried running pdfsearch2.php and I am still getting that error. Was I supposed to put the word "enabled" at the end of UserDir? Is that the correct edit? I think I may have to create a symbolic link.

Sorry for the delay, busy day... I'm not sure that the problems is there but try,

 UserDir pdf2

 

[Mon May 05 02:46:35 2014] [error] [client 109.91.170.175] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/

Did you make some changes in apache conf file before?

 

Why are you using this extension - .swish-e? Does this extension a part of apache options directive is? What language are you using inside this file index.swish-e?

Okay let me answer your questions one at a time and in order.

 

I did not make any changes to the apache conf file before other than changing disabled to enabled if you read my previous posts.

 

The reason I am using the .swish-e extenstion is because I have gotten this code from this web page. This is the link http://devzone.zend.com/1591/Indexing-web-content-with-php-swish-e 

 

I don't know why that extenstion is there but for some reason it works. index.swish-e is a binary file. It is created when an index is created after you index the PDF files.

 

I put  UserDir pdf2 in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and I am still getting:

 

Search Results

ERROR: Could not open the index file '/home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e': Permission denied

 

I don't know if that extension is a part of apache options directive. I don't have a lot of PHP experience.

Hm...... did you restart apache after changes?

/sbin/service httpd restart // as root account

Let me see the system permissions to this file,

ls -la /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e

Can I see the output of:

cat /etc/passwd | grep swish // run the string in the console as root account

I restarted Apache.

 

Here is the output for the systems permission to this file:

 

[root@zeus sbin]# ls -la /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4816366 May  5 11:21 /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e
 
 
When I typed in your final command, I didn't receive any output.

You need to have "r-read" and "x-execute" permissions to this file to be executable for others group of users like apache for example.

 

Try,

chmod 755 /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e

 

When I typed in your final command, I didn't receive any output.

I wanted to know if this app was created a special user/group named "swish", but obviously no.

Okay let me give you an update. I made some necessary changes to the Apache configuration file.

 

I changed it back to UserDir disabled because I am still getting permission denied error. I think it may have something to do with my PHP code. Don't know why it isn't working.

 

Also I created a soft link and that still isn't working.

 

Here is what I got:

 

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 12288 May  5 21:51 pdf2

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root    20 May  5 15:46 pdf3 -> /home/wvbadmin/pdf3/

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1214 May  5 23:00 pdfsearch2.php

 

 

I should mention to you that the same number of PDF files that are in pdf2 are in pdf3. pdf3 is the softlink that links to /home/wvbadmin/pdf3/

 

I also tried changing the ownership of the pdf files in pdf3 to root but that didn't work. I am still getting the permission denied error.

I don't get why I can't get this to work.

 

It is the exact code for phpsearch.php but all I am doing is just changing the path. Sorry for the delay.

This is the result. I keep getting when I run my pdfsearch2.php script in a web browser:

Why pdf3 instead pdf2? Where the file, named index.swish-e is located? You are making some mess, please don't.

Well actually. Let me tell you why. I was going to do pdf2 but I wanted to test if a soft link would work that is why.

 

index.swish-e is located under /var/www/html/pdf3 and /var/www/html/pdf2.

Mike, please, step by step. Can you explain this -

 

Here is the output for the systems permission to this file:

 

[root@zeus sbin]# ls -la /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4816366 May  5 11:21 /home/wvbadmin/pdf2/index.swish-e

 

How many files with the same name you have in your file structure?

Mike, please, step by step. Can you explain this -

Okay, Let me try to answer that question as best I can:

 

Under the /home/wvbadmin/pdf2 directory and

 

/home/wvbadmin/pdf3 directory I have the index.swish-e file but under /home/wvbadmin/pdf3 directory index.swish-e is lit up as green indicating it is an executable. I don't know why.

 

 

Under the /var/www/html directory I have this:

 

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  6678 Apr 30 13:25 favicon.ico

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 17256 May  5 16:02 h1

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   113 Apr 29 16:45 hello.php

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root    19 Apr 24 23:53 info.php

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 12288 May  5 21:51 pdf2

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root    20 May  5 15:46 pdf3 -> /home/wvbadmin/pdf3/

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1214 May  6 11:18 pdfsearch2.php

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1216 May  6 09:56 pdfsearch.php

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1838 Apr 30 13:10 search.php

 

Under the /var/www/html/pdf2 directory and

 

/var/www/html/pdf3 directory I have the index.swish-e file but under /var/www/html/pdf3 directory index.swish-e is lit up as green indicating it is an executable. Again I don't know why.

 

Also take into account that pdf3 is being soft linked to the /home/wvbadmin/pdf3 directory which is where I want to get and search my files from if you remember my original question.
