I can't access the files. apparently /usr/local/

drwxr-xr-- 16 www-data www-data 4096 2011-09-19 09:30 bugzilla-4.0.2/

The link from /var/www/

lrwxrwxrwx  1 www-data www-data   25 2011-09-18 13:53 bugzilla -> /usr/local/bugzilla-4.0.2/

When browsing to: http://localhost/bugzilla I get :

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /bugzilla on this server.

Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.0.22 Port 80

  • Oh, and the apache error_log file might well tell you more about the problem. – ed. Sep 19 '11 at 17:44

In order for the link to work, www-data will have to have the following permissions:

rx on /usr, /usr/local, /usr/local/bugzilla and any sub-folder

r on any files within /usr/local/bugzilla

Oh, and the apache error_log file might well tell you more about the problem.

  • Do I really need X on /usr? why is the link than? This exposes all of my subfolders for execute permission. Isn't it too much? – Saariko Sep 20 '11 at 06:42
  • To follow a symlink a user needs to be able to navigate to the folder in question, so needs X all the way. If you don't like this then you could use mount (-o bind, from memory) to mount your folder on top of /var/www/bugzilla. – ed. Sep 20 '11 at 08:24
