I am running a vps with ubuntu 11.04. After a clean Modx install I've tried to access http://www.encepence.pl/manager and I've got a permission denied by my server. the thing is that I can easily access any other folder under that domain and modify this folder(manager) content via ftp. I’ve tried modifying virtual host with that 

<Directory /var/www/blackflow/data/www/encepence.pl/manager/>
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

But it didn't work. 

<Directory /var/www/blackflow/data/www/encepence.pl>
    Options -ExecCGI -Includes
    php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/blackflow/data:."
    php_admin_flag engine on
</Directory>

<VirtualHost 192.166.219.34:80 >
    ServerName encepence.pl
    CustomLog /var/www/httpd-logs/encepence.pl.access.log combined
    DocumentRoot /var/www/blackflow/data/www/encepence.pl

    ErrorLog /var/www/httpd-logs/encepence.pl.error.log
    ServerAdmin pomoc@blackflow.pl
    ServerAlias www.encepence.pl
    SuexecUserGroup blackflow blackflow
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/blackflow/data:."
    php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f pomoc@blackflow.pl"
    php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/var/www/blackflow/data/mod-tmp"
    php_admin_value session.save_path "/var/www/blackflow/data/mod-tmp"
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/blackflow/data/www/%0

</VirtualHost>

Any ideas on what might have gone wrong?

  • What do you see in the logs (/var/www/httpd-logs/encepence.pl.error.log and /var/www/httpd-logs/encepence.pl.access.log) when you try to access it? –  Nov 30 '12 at 15:51

The permissions for one of the directories above that file (or the .htaccess file itself) most likely has improper permissions set to use it.

Check the permissions of '/usr/local/ispmgr', '/usr/local', and '/usr/' until you find which directory has the invalid permissions. The web server needs at a minimum execute (+x) permissions to be able to read a file within that directory.

Try 'chmod a+x /usr/local/ispmgr /usr/local /usr' and 'chmod a+r /usr/local/ispmgr/.htaccess' if you aren't familiar with setting permissions to get started.

  • it's getting more and more interesting:/. When I chmod /usr/local/ispmgr http://www.encepence.pl/manager redirects me to my ispmanager login page! As for the .htaccess file I couldn't find one so I've made a blank one. Now I get that error: /usr/local/ispmgr/.htaccess: Invalid command '------WebKitFormBoundary5SydCNWPKSjdR0zF', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. – Michał Korzeniowski Nov 30 '12 at 16:36
