I'm having a devil of a time getting Wordpress going on my webhost. When I try to access my virtualhost, I get a "403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." error and a "Cannot serve directory..." error in my error_log (see below). Why am I getting "403 Forbidden"? I am missing something, hopefully obvious to you (not to me, naturally). Thanks for any help.
I installed a minimal install of Fedora 20 (ie, no Gnome/KDE but plenty of php packages [710] so it's not that skinny). Then I installed Apache, and followed up with the Wordpress install as per http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install . Since then, I have been hacking around in /etc/httpd trying to find the issue.
I have version 2.4 of Apache, php 5.5.18, Fedora 20, and Wordpress 4.0-1.
I have created my Virtualhost in Apache, and here is the error in my error log (all on one line):
[Sat Nov 15 20:38:16.067198 2014] [autoindex:error] [pid 6745]
[client XX.XX.XX.XX:48419] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /usr/share/wordpress/:
No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html) found, and server-generated directory
index forbidden by Options directive
I have been hacking and hacking the httpd.conf file and my Virtual host's file (found in /etc/httpd/conf.d/myhostname.conf) to no avail. Any ideas? I include a (shortened) copy of my httpd.conf and my virtual host's conf file. First, the virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName virtual1.myhost.com
ServerAlias virtual1
DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress

It looks like you have forgotten
DirectoryIndex
.This should be added to the
<VirtualHost>
serving WordPress.In the log you can find an error
[Sun Dec 03 17:38:17.649269 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 4806] [client ::1:57323] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /etc/httpd/conf/htdocs/: No matching DirectoryIndex () found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
to fix it:-
then you must remove the line in /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf
below existing configuration:-
<LocationMatch "^/+$"> Options -Indexes ErrorDocument 403 /.noindex.html </LocationMatch>
solved with the below configuration,:- commented out a line.
<LocationMatch "^/+$"> #Options -Indexes ErrorDocument 403 /.noindex.html </LocationMatch>
