Hullo,
I was working with a website on a server that I set up by using Webmin only.
This allowed me to host files on a virtual server in the root directory.
To repair a problem with ftp, I set up the site with Virtualmin — because why not?: virtual host, virtual admin — makes sense, right? :-)
To make a long story short, all of my addresses immediately began serving up 403 Forbidden errors.
Which error log should I use to accurately troubleshoot this? (Do I merely make a change to "Edit Directives" to fix this?)
Your advice would be most appreciated!
Thanking you in advance.
Checking the /etc/httpd/logs/error_log file shows me that access from my own server (me, trying to test the html) results in these errors:
(13)Permission denied: access to /index.php denied(13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied
(13)Permission denied: access to /index.html.var denied
I should also note that the sftp is working just fine.
There are other IPs attempting access, and these errors are thrown:
Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01\x01"\x01Is there anything else I should check?
Holy Judas! This all turned out to be a permissions error. I followed the breadcrumbs from here and got things back online.
Let me know if you see anything wrong with the recommended method (in a Virtualmin context). Otherwise I am content.
