Error 403 Forbidden

[milon]

Hi,

I have 2 errors after installing on Centos5.3

1) When I add a domain, then goto the domain I get an error 403 forbidden page. This is the domain --> http://www.mostlyharmlessmedia.co.uk

2) When I try to access the webftp, I get: Unable to connect to FTP server localhost on port 21.

I did have trouble getting proftpd to start - I had to comment out

Code:

#DisplayFirstChdir          message

for the service to start.

I'm not certain what information you'll need to assist, so I'll post details when asked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Do you have SSH access ?

If yes, can you see the files in the root of the domain, and what is the attributes for the directory and the files ?

[milon]

Permissions in /var/www/virtual/mostlyharmlessmedia.co.uk/htdocs

are all 777.

[sci2tech]

Should not be 0777. please post output from

Code:

ls -l

[milon]

[root@maggie htdocs]# ls -l
total 8.0K
drwxrwxrwx 2 vu2004 vu2004 4.0K Oct 3 14:27 images
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vu2004 vu2004 3.3K Oct 3 18:34 index.html

Oh, that`s simple
http://www.mostlyharmlessmedia.co.uk/index.html
you miss this directive

Code:

DirectoryIndex [b]index.html[/b] index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm

in apache conf

[MicCo]

Thanks to sci2tech, it looks like it's working now

[milon]

Thanks for your help.

http://www.mostlyharmlessmedia.co.uk/index.html works

but

http://www.mostlyharmlessmedia.co.uk still gives a 403.

[sci2tech]

Did you added that directive to apache conf?
If no, you need to add it.
If yes you need to restart apache

[milon]

Code:

DirectoryIndex [b]index.html[/b] index.php index.xhtml index.htm index.pl index.cgi index.html.var

In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Code:

[root@maggie ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: [Sat Oct 03 21:37:31 2009] [warn] module fcgid_module is already loaded, skipping
[Sat Oct 03 21:37:31 2009] [warn] module fcgid_module is already loaded, skipping
                                                           [  OK  ]

Output from restarting apache.

But I still have the problem.
