I just got caught out with apache directory permissions while installing gallery for a virtual host. I previously had all the virtual hosts using the same strict directory permissions shown below:
<Directory /sites/<domain>/www/htdocs>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
This will generate 2 errors in the virtual host error log, the first of which is a php error:
[alert] /sites/<domain>/www/htdocs/gallery/setup/.htaccess: php_value not allowed here
This can be fixed by adding the Options option to the AllowOverride statement, the second error:
[alert] /sites/<domain>/www/htdocs/gallery/setup/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here
can be fixed by adding the FileInfo option. So the final directory block should look like this:
<Directory /sites/<domain>/www/htdocs>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Options FileInfo
</Directory>
This problem has been driving me nuts all night and I finally stumbled upon this really “useful thing” via a google search. This was very clear and solved my issues, thanks!
Thanks, this problem drives me to crazy as well. It has been solved.
Serious Thanx!
This thing’s been making me crazy with getting the Zend Framework to work with Apache.
Simple FiX!
Thanx! ^_^
