Apache + Wordpress + Permissions = Losing insanity!

Hey guys,

I am trying out OpenSUSE for web development after going through about 20 other distros, and am really liking it so far!! Everything set up easily and quick, then came trying to set up a Wordpress site…

I have installed LAMP, and everything was going well until I tried to enable mod_rewrite. That was about 8 hours ago. And I’m still trying to enable it, except now I can’t access any of my sites, I just get access forbidden errors. PLEASE can someone help me - I have SOO much work to get through and I can’t even access my sites!! :frowning:

This is my conf at the moment:

default-server.conf


<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
Options None
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /icons/ "/usr/share/apache2/icons/"

<Directory "/usr/share/apache2/icons">
Options Indexes MultiViewsa
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf
</IfModule>

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf

**httpd.conf

**


# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

I don’t know how to go forward from here. I feel like I should just start over from the beginning, but how do I completely remove LAMP? I followed this tutorial:

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:LAMP_setup

If anyone can help me, I will appreciate it beyond words!!!

Hello,

I am not sure about your specific problem, but take note that the allow/deny statements are depricated in favour of the require statement. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_host.html

There is backwards compatibilty through the module http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html

I am not sure if that module is included by defaylt. in the Apache version that comes with openSUSE13.2. In any caswe, I think that it is better to use the new technique when you start a new project.
