4.0.2: 403 error for all static files

[andreas]

Since the upgrade to 4.0.2, all static file request cause 403 errors.

Switching back to 4.0 solves the problem.

With the guide of usefuljaja, I have a symlink for phpmyadmin at, but now I can't get phpMyAdmin to run.

Same thing here. 4.0.1 doesn't have this problem. Can't see anything in the log files.

Maybe it is caused by "Restained" configuration, bug has been fixed in 4.0.2 to make it work properly.

If symbolic links has been used, it could be the problem.

My VH_ROOTs are all something like:
$SERVER_ROOT/www-html/xyz

Where $SERVER_ROOT/www-html is a symlink to /var/www/html

With "Restrained" enabled, requests to any VH with a VH_ROOT that contains a symlink return 403 because of that, but I don't think it should.

 

[mistwang]

If VH_ROOT is $SERVER_ROOT/www-html/xyz, the server will not serve anything beyond its vhost root.
Your vhosts are configured natively, not through httpd.conf, right?

 

[gboudreau]

(Yes, all my VH are configured from LS admin interface, not httpd.conf)

Even files in directly in VH_ROOT returned 403.

Example:
Domain = www.danslereseau.com
VH_ROOT = $SERVER_ROOT/www-html/dlr

http://www.danslereseau.com/index.php returned 403.

Where do you suggest I put phpMyAdmin then? A folder under $VH_ROOT?

Please download and try 4.0.3 release package. Just change the version number in the download link to get it.
Should work better.

 

[MindTooth]

Installed it successfully, but what is much better?

Birger

 

[mistwang]

The new release still do not allow symbolic link to a directory out side virtual host root, so if you want to share phpMyAdmin code among many users, you have to configure it through "Alias" in httpd.conf, or "Static Context" from LSWS console.

That's the way to bring external directories beyond vhost root into the document root.

Or, disable "Restrained" option.

 

[MindTooth]

Thank you for the reply, but this is beyond my knowledge. I just disabled Restrained.

Thanks, 4.0.3 fixes it.

 

[andreas]

Oops, I detected a bug with 4.0.3:

I have a symlink called "b" that links to a directory "a". In 4.0, if I access blabla.com/b/index.php, the working directory for index.php is "b". In 4.0.3, the working directory is "a". It looks like LSWS resolves the symlink instead of just running b/index.php.

 

[andreas]

The behaviour still exists in 4.0.5. Are you planning to fix this in a future release, or do I need to find a different solution to my problem?
