httpd permissions, hda1 User permissions, Cake?

[Fault]

After trouble shooting for the last day I officially think I am screwed

Apache doesn;t seem to wanna let people see anything in the html directory.


Permissions:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 29 15:21 html
SeLinuix - off
Firewall - Tried with port 80 forwarded AND with it off
Router - All ports forwarded, Also In DMZ mode.

"Who can get stuff from this server" Allow from all.

http.conf is attached

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
Apache/2.2.2 (Fedora) Server at 67.177.145.213 Port 80

Any Ideas?


opps forgot the hda1 and cake.


Hda1. got it mounted. works perfectly on root. however no other user can use it. and I can;t change it's permissions by way of chmod. any ideas?


And free cakje to everyone here

I would post the contents of your error log, but I suspect you may still have incorrect permissions on the files in the html directory.

[SlowJet]

The user of Apache is http and thus needs permission to access the files.
When you use root (implied SELinux roole of wbadmin) to
cp file into the html, SELinux will change the context in the http user (which would have the http permissions.)

mv would not change the context to http.

Without SELinux on, your cp or mv to html using root will leave the files as root owned.

Therefore you must chown to http and chmod to http's needs.

Turn on SELinux and let it do its magic.

chown: `http': invalid user

however chmoding to 777 works for now.

I think the default server installs are Very buggy in FC5


there is no http user
mysql runs but I can't even connect to it.


Don;t know about php yet.. Im afraid to try...

the mysql issue..

[root@localhost html]# mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

[SlowJet]

ops, the user name is apache
user ID 48
Primary Group apache
Full Name Apache
Logon Shell /sbon/nologon
Home Dir /var/www

[root@localhost mysql]# bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
[1] 14008
[root@localhost mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var
STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/mysql/var/localhost.localdomain.pid

Don't do that.

Running anything 777 is a mistake, with the possible exception of /tmp. You are just asking for vulnerability propagation.

No, the server installations are just fine. But you do need to know how to use a tool before you can produce very much with it.

Have you setup your firewall to allow you to connect to it? Have you configured your daemon to listen to the interface you're trying to use?

IME, although it's always tempting to blame the software for initial difficulties, it almost always comes down to user error. Not stamping one's feet and making noises in public places means one doesn't have to eat so much humble pie later...

I've been using mysql for 3 years now. I know when software is faulty.

as for your questions. NO I even turned off the firewall just incase the settings for it was wrong and it wqs still not working!

Have you configured your daemon to listen to the interface you're trying to use?

mysqlby default runs on port 3306 this hasn;t changed unless someone other then mysql devs changed it.
