Apache 2.2 client denied by server configurationDecember 12, 2005Setting up and starting apache 2.2 went smoothly. The first hiccup occured when a virtual host was added. The site cannot be browsed. The log file says: client denied by server configuration
Kind of like the problem that I ran into with the 2.0.54 installation (13)Permission denied: access to /index.php denied
I thought it would be a user/group problem. Apache 2 had a wierd group set by default (#-1). With 2.2 it's not so wierd but a more orthodox 'daemon'. Why it wasn't set to nobody as it used to be with 1.3 is a mystery. Changing it to nobody didn't solve the problem. Digging deeper, I found the problem in is actually in the root directory configuration section. In 2.0 it's <Directory >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
In 2.20 it's <Directory>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
The added bit of extra security in 2.20 causes the docroot for the vhost been inaccessible. Just commenting out the access configuration stuff does the trick. A better solution is to add the following with the in the vhost block. Order deny,allow
Deny from all
