Apache 2-Setup on OpenSuse 12.1: issues with userid - how to solve?
Hello dear Linux-Experts - good day!
I have OpenSUSE 12.1 installed. I tried a lot to get the lampp on the system workin. i set it up by YAST - (with the sheme-installations) how to get it working. How to configure the apache? The question of the day is: How can I set up apache2 in `~/public_html`?
I allways believed that by default, in openSUSE, the web server runs in the following directory
But unfortunatly - i installed and the path i afterwards used was the following one... :
Question: is this wrong!?
Well - once i have installed like this way and had terrible problems to write to the folders:
Guess that the userid we use just matters. This leads to the question: How should i install the Apache - that i do not have any issues with the permissions!? Should i create a new user - for this tasks!?
I love to hear from you
greetings
btw:
PS; How should i install the Apache - that i do not have any issues with the permissions!?
BTW: last time i installed the Apache on OpenSuse i was able to see the file that is called mod_userdir: - is this a important file. What should i do with this one!
Code:
#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot easily be
# changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache package
# would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting
# /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would be
# executed with the UID of the webserver.
#
# To rebuild apache with another setting you need to change the
# %userdir define in the spec file.
# not every user's directory should be visible:
UserDir disabled root
# to enable UserDir only for a certain set of users, use this instead:
#UserDir disabled
#UserDir enabled user1 user2
# the UserDir directive is actually used inside the virtual hosts, to
# have more control
#UserDir public_html
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
</IfModule>
By the way: This time, i did not have checked if the userdir modue is loaded now!? Should i do this!? I did such tests on my old Apache Installation...
Code:
apache2ctl -M |grep userdir
[Mon Feb 27 08:10:49 2012] [warn] module rewrite_module is already
loaded, skipping userdir_module (shared)
Syntax OK
If not the check via YaST /etc/sysconfig editor and add userdir to the modules APACHE_MODULES section.
Can we do some thing here?
The last time i checked this i got the following results:
Code:
linux-r4qe:/home/martin # apache2ctl -M |grep userdir
httpd2: Syntax error on line 188 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/include.conf: No such file or directory
linux-r4qe:/home/martin #
Some days ago i got the advice to check via YaST /etc/sysconfig editor and add userdir to the modules APACHE_MODULES section.

This will not answer all your questions, but give some things to contemplate.
. /srv/www has allready for many years been the default place for the webserver data on (open)SUSE. I do not know why you think it should be on /public_html.
. Apaches serving processes are by default owned by user wwwrun and group www:
Code:
henk@boven:/etc/apache2> ps -eo euser,fgroup,command | grep apache
root root /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun www /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun www /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun www /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun www /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
wwwrun www /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
henk wij grep apache
henk@boven:/etc/apache2>
Thus data to be served, either in the default
Code:
DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/"
and/or in other Alias configuration statements used in your configuration, should have ownership and access bits to fullfill the needed access (read, search and maybe write and execute).

Maybe there is confusion with "~/public_html", the alternative place in
each user's home.
