Good morning, I'm having a some permissions trouble with suexec running on Sarge.
I have a virtualhost for a user called Bob which specifies User Bob and Group Bob in the /etc/apache/conf.d/bob.conf file. The permissions on /var/www/bob are: drwx------ 2 bob bob 4096 Jan 10 10:30 cgi-bin drwx------ 26 bob bob 4096 Jan 10 10:30 htdocs and the permissions on /var/www/bob/htdocs/index.html are: drwx------ 1 bob bob 4096 Jan 10 10:30 index.html When I restart Apache, I get the following message in the Apache error log: [Mon Jan 10 10:35:00 2005] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache/suexec) But when I try to access index.html, bob's error log shows: [Mon Jan 10 10:36:00 2005] [error] [client 10.1.1.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /index.html failed because search permissions are missing on a component of the path If I switch user to bob, and run ls -la on /, /var, /var/www, /var/www/bob I can see all of the files, so why is apache running as this user not able to?
