I'm having a devil of a time getting Wordpress going on my webhost. When I try to access my virtualhost, I get a "403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." error and a "Cannot serve directory..." error in my error_log (see below). Why am I getting "403 Forbidden"? I am missing something, hopefully obvious to you (not to me, naturally). Thanks for any help.
I installed a minimal install of Fedora 20 (ie, no Gnome/KDE but plenty of php packages [710] so it's not that skinny). Then I installed Apache, and followed up with the Wordpress install as per http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install . Since then, I have been hacking around in /etc/httpd trying to find the issue.
I have version 2.4 of Apache, php 5.5.18, Fedora 20, and Wordpress 4.0-1.
I have created my Virtualhost in Apache, and here is the error in my error log (all on one line):
[Sat Nov 15 20:38:16.067198 2014] [autoindex:error] [pid 6745] [client XX.XX.XX.XX:48419] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /usr/share/wordpress/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive I have been hacking and hacking the httpd.conf file and my Virtual host's file (found in /etc/httpd/conf.d/myhostname.conf) to no avail. Any ideas? I include a (shortened) copy of my httpd.conf and my virtual host's conf file. First, the virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName virtual1.myhost.com ServerAlias virtual1 DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress ErrorLog logs/virtual1_error CustomLog logs/virtual1_access common </VirtualHost> <Directory /> Require all granted AllowOverride None <IfModule mod_rewrite.so> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> </Directory> <Directory /usr/share/wordpress> Require all granted <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None # <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> # # Apache 2.4 # Require local # </IfModule> # <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c> # # Apache 2.4 # Require all granted # AllowOverride None # </IfModule> </Directory> <Directory /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/akismet> <FilesMatch "\.(php|txt)$"> Require all granted AllowOverride None </FilesMatch> </Directory> Now, the httpd.conf:
