Httpd and Joomla on Fedora 9 server

[Deonis]

Hello. I am running Fedora 9 as a home server for my website based on Joomla. My problem is to correctly display my Joomla web site on-line. It is working perfectly with fedora 9 on localhost but when I try to connect to it from another computer, the title page without images displayed. Also I can not go to any other pages. Maybe it is problem with httpd configuration settings or I missing something ??!?


I will appreciate any help

Thanks beforehand !!!

the title page without images displayed.

Can you show us a snapshot of it?

Can you run Shields Up from www.grc.com, it would show you the ports that are opened/closed.

This is output from grc.com and my web you should be able to see as : dsn.selfip.com

So its telling you port 80 is set right, can be reached from outside.

Is your website pages under /var/www or /home/someusername/public_html?

If its under /home/username/public_html, you can use the forum's search for public_html. There was a thread about it yesterday and the day before. Very handy.

[Deonis]

It is under /var/www/html/username

[marcrblevins]

Can you run the following:

su -
ll /var/www/html
ls -Z /var/www/html
ll /var/www/html/username
ls -Z /var/www/html/username
getsebool -a | grep http

First one to do is:

su -
cd /var/www/html
chmod 755 denis

Try your webpage now. Does it work?

Now the directories within the denis directory should be chmod 755 while the files itself need to be chmod 664.
Cause it appears to me that it was chmod 777 all over the place. That is bad.

May I ask how did you get those files into /var/www/html to begin with? ftp? sftp?

[Deonis]

thanks for reply. I just use MC as root to copy web in to this folder from my home folder. I do not really know how to set all files in a folder in mode 664?! and seems like nothing in manual to chmod about it.

[marcrblevins]

Are you using 'su -' its required.

chmod is part of coreutils.i386

Start your terminal adn try:

su -
yum install coreutils.i386

Then try the following while still in su - session.

cd /var/www/html/denis
chmod 664 *
chmod 755 administrator
chmod 755 cache
chmod 755 components
chmod 755 editor
chmod 755 help
chmod 755 images
chmod 755 includes
chmod 755 language
chmod 755 mambots
chmod 755 media
chmod 755 modules
chmod 755 templates

Now test your webpage.

[Deonis]

Soorry. I thought a way exist to change permission of folder all together. You did my job ! :)
So I did, and it did change anything on my web.

[Denis@localhost html]$ sudo chmod 755 denis
[Denis@localhost html]$ cd denis
[Denis@localhost denis]$ sudo chmod 664 *
[Denis@localhost denis]$ su

[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 administrator
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 cache
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 components
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 editor
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 help
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 images
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 includes
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 language
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 mambots
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 media
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 modules
[root@localhost denis]# chmod 755 templates
[root@localhost denis]#

[Deonis]

Another try: So I changed a permissions of the folders and files but as I said it did not help much to me!
some Ideas ?!

[marcrblevins]

I tried your site. Now I see what you are saying.

http://localhost/denis/images/M_images/rating_star_blank.png

Does this file exists?

ll /var/www/html/denis/images/M_images/rating_star_blank.png

[marcrblevins]

Your site is looking better now, what did you do?

[marcrblevins]

Check your Chemistry page.
http://dsn.my-place.us/mambots/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/ is missing.

[Deonis]

Thank you very very much it works!!!! Now everything is working just fine I also change configuration.php -> mos_config_life_site = http://localhost/denis to http://dsn.selfip.com.
Thanks for help Good Sir !!!!

as for your question Yes file exist !!!!!!

Thanks again !!!!

[Deonis]

Ups ?!?!?! May I ask you how come you know that my "tiny mce" is missing ???? and how come you know that I had a web site on dsn.my-place.us???? my domain now is dsn.selfip.com

[marcrblevins]

When I saw your website running ok up front, I selected Chemistry and I was seeing RED check marks, no pictures. So I right click on the mouse, selected Properties. It shows you the link for that pictures.

[Deonis]

AAAAA ok. Thanks allot Marc !!!
if you will need a help one day tell me!!
