Permission to directory in /var/www

08-04-2011, 09:51 AM

I have a fresh system i.e *newly installed ubuntu 10.04.Apache is installed using "sudo apt-get install apache2".I tested it by making a test.php file in /var/www and it is accessible from browser.Now i copied a directory to /var/www *but it is not being accessible from browser.It gives the following dreading message.

ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /GNDEC-SMS-Service/ on this server.

Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80*

I changed the permission of the directory to 755 but it didn't work.Similarly 775 still didnt work.I know its a permission issue.Can anybody please tell me which permission i should give to /var/www/directory so that i can access it .

Edit your /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file in line number 531 make that line like
display_errors = On

which may be by default like
display_errors = Off

and 542 number line
display_startup_errors = Onwhich may be by default like

display_startup_errors = Off

*then restart your apache server by
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now browse* localhost/directoryName

If there is any error, it will be shown.

How long did you spend with google before coming back to ask here?

I hope you are not just seeing an error and immediately asking for
more help. That way you will never learn how to sort your own
problems out.

I notice you did not even thank the previous poster for his suggestion
to show the errors, which has got you to the heart of the problem.

So what have you learnt by googling the error message now? A good
search might be
Call to undefined function mysql_connect ubuntu

You may still not be able to solve it yourself but you will be able to
say what you have tried and what happened.
I don't know the answer myself by the way, but if I had the problem
then google would be my first approach and only if I still could not
sort it would I ask people to spend their time trying to help me.

The better Google query would be: "php ubuntu undefined mysql_connect"
Anyways to answer:
apt-get install php5-mysql
