Apache2: client denied by server configuration: /www
By Jessica Wood •
I've seen a number of similar questions, but none for the /www folder - as such, none of the related questions seem to fix my problem.
When I try to access my website via localhost I get a 403 error, with the following error log:
[Wed May 10 11:41:10.930677 2017] [authz_core:error] [pid 1113] [client 127.0.0.1:38380] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /wwwNow, I believe my virtual host is setup correctly:
<VirtualHost *:80> DirectoryIndex index.php DocumentRoot /www/var/bluespice ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ORNL_bluespice_error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ORNL_bluespice_access.log combined <Directory /www/var/bluespice> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory>
</VirtualHost>The only way I can get around this issue is to change the following part of the apache2.conf file:
<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks Require all denied
</Directory>To:
<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks Require all granted
</Directory>But as I understand it, this is highly insecure, so I'd like to solve it in a safer manner.
I've also tried adding the following to apache2.conf without success:
<Directory /var/www> Options FollowSymLinks Require all granted
</Directory>Can anyone see where I might have gone wrong?

I suppose DocumentRoot must be /var/www/bluespice instead of /www/var/bluespice, because the default work directory (defined in apache2.conf) is /vaw/www.
