403 forbidden page on lighttpd
Hello everyone.
I installed the lighttpd, MYSQL, ProFTPD services by the DigitalOcean guides,
I created a new user by this commands:
useradd
passwd
groupadd
gpasswd -a
chgrp -R /home/
chmod -R g+rw /home/
The FTP user is ok, and it can upload files.
I edited the lighttpd config file and added:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)daniel-s\.net$" {
server.document-root = "/home"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/daniel-s.net/error.log"
accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/daniel-s.net/access.log"
server.error-handler-404 = "/e404.php"
}
Note that I made the /home document root for testing.
Now try to access my website to the user directory (named daniel):
http://daniel-s.net/daniel
It will show you an 403 forbidden error, even for random sub-folder (for example http://daniel-s.net/daniel/dajksdasdhjk231434)
Now remember that the daniel folder has been created automatically by the useradd command. When I created a folder called test (without the useradd command, just by mkdir command) it does respond!
http://daniel-s.net/test
Why is that?
The DigitalOcean support team referred me to this forum for an answer.
Its very important for me.
Thanks in advance.
