After upgrading my entire system, moving from Apache 2.0.x to 2.2.6 I ran into an interesting problem (actually, a couple.) Some of the configurations have moved, and things that used to be in the Gentoo dist httpd.conf have been broken out into config files in the \/etc\/apache2\/modules.d\/ directory. So, copying my old vhosts file in was not a good idea. And doing a merge of the old and new httpd.conf files was also a mistake. Once I figured out that I had the Listen 80 directive in one file and Listen 192.168.1.10:80 in another I understood why it failed to start. So, I fixed all the configs to match the new setup, and tried again. It started up just fine, and seemed okay, until I tried to connect. I kept getting 403 errors.<\/p>\n
I went through the standard checks, checking the file permissions, .htaccess settings, and so on, to no avail. A quick Google search pointed me to the fix from Victor Trac<\/a>. He found the offending bit in the new broken out config in \/etc\/apache2\/modules.d\/00_default_settings.conf where it contains:<\/p>\n The fix is either to change that to Allow from all and define Deny where needed in each virtual host or to override it in every virtual host. Since I tend to set up my hosts with the idea that the server allows everything and it is up to the host to deny where needed I chose the first option, reloaded Apache and everything is sweet again.<\/p>\n Edit:<\/span><\/p>\n I found I was having an error with the RewriteRules after switching from Apache 2.0.x to 2.2.x – I found the fix on the Gentoo forums, which required adding an extra RewriteCond line in the .htaccess file.<\/p>\n The old .htaccess: and the new:<\/p>\n and the new:<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: Apache 2.2<\/a>, 403<\/a>, Gentoo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After upgrading my entire system, moving from Apache 2.0.x to 2.2.6 I ran into an interesting problem (actually, a couple.)
