Apache: Error 404 while filepermissions set to 777

Hi there!

Long time no see. :pensive: I’ve been to busy with other projects. My Kirby-project has been paused for a while.

My 2015-Intel-Notebook will not get the Win11-Upgrade. But I wound not dump it for that reason. I decided to switch to a rolling-release-Linux. Manjaro is based on Arch-Linux.

I’ve followed that instruction to install Apache-Webserver and PHP. Should only work on localhost, it’s just a dev-machine. That worked fine, static HTML is shown, PHPinfo works.

Than I’ve downloaded the Starterkit and put it in it’s own folder starterkit. So I opened in my browser http://localhost/starterkit. The main-page appeared, but all the images are “404 - not found”. The same problem with every link.

Just to give it a try, I’ve made chmod 777... to set all rights:

[dennis@notebook /srv/http/starterkit]$ id 
uid=1000(dennis) gid=1001(dennis) Gruppen=1001(dennis),3(sys),33(http),90(network),98(power),991(lp),998(wheel),1000(autologin)
[dennis@notebook /srv/http/starterkit]$ ls -l
insgesamt 40
drwxrwxrwx  5 http http 4096  9. Mai 21:21 assets
-rwxrwxrwx  1 http http  895  9. Mai 21:21 composer.json
drwxrwxrwx  8 http http 4096  9. Mai 21:21 content
-rwxrwxrwx  1 http http 5430  9. Mai 21:21 favicon.ico
-rwxrwxrwx  1 http http   78  9. Mai 21:21 index.php
drwxrwxrwx 10 http http 4096  9. Mai 21:21 kirby
drwxrwxrwx  3 http http 4096  9. Mai 21:22 media
-rwxrwxrwx  1 http http 2751  9. Mai 21:21 README.md
drwxrwxrwx 12 http http 4096  9. Mai 21:22 site
[dennis@notebook /srv/http/starterkit]$ 

But this worked either. Now I’m stuck. What am I missing here?

Thank you in advance!
Dennis

I doubt that it is caused by a permission issue, but if it is than check the permissions of the folders upwards until the server root and/or the virtual host root. The webserver needs at least read and execute access for folders of the complete path.

And, make sure that the webserver and php_fpm (if you are using this) processes are run under the user http and/or group http as you files and folders are owned by that user and group.

But I am rather think that you need to adopt your .htaccess file, the RewriteBase configuration setting, since you are running Kirby from a subfolder.

Hi Uwe!

Thank you for your reply. I’m not very skilled with Linux in deeper topics. I’ve used Linux earlier as a “surfing-machine”. So maybe I need more help. :innocent:

Following your steps I’ve checked the path of my document-root:

[dennis@notebook /]$ ls -l
(...)
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root        4096  9. Mai 10:39 srv
(...)
[dennis@notebook /srv]$ ls -l
(...)
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root ftp  4096 21. Mär 15:24 ftp
drwxrwxrwx 3 http http 4096 10. Mai 10:18 http

So srv belongs to root, http belongs to http. Do I have to correct that?

Than I’ve checked the hpptd-Service. The first PID is owned by root, the rest is on http. If I should correct that, I need more help please.

I can’t find any process called php with htop. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: But phpinfo is working - strange…

About the subfolder: Before Manjaro I’ve been on Windows 10 with XAMPP. I had several folders under the doc-root. No issues at all.

No.

This is ok. The first process just spawns a couple of subprocesses which are doing the real work.

No, thats ok as well. There are two major ways running php from the webserver, one is a kind of subprocess, launched and owned by the same user as the webserver process, so there is no further action required. The other is with php-fpm which is running as a service under its own user, waiting for request by the the webserver. If php-fpm is running as the same user as the webserver, there is also no further action required.

Because there is no security at all :wink:

Is your .htaccess file on the right place? (Check with ls -la in the docroot/starterkit folder) and did you try change the setting for RewriteBase?

Possible, yes. But easier to manage for starters, as we see here… :laughing:

Yes, it’s under /srv/http/starterkit/.htaccess - looks good.

I’ve never touched the .htaccess before, even at my staging-area in the web. Now I added RewriteBase /starterkit and restarted (to be sure everything is loaded) my notebook.

But it makes no different. Same behavior: 404 on images and links. :pensive:

Assuming that you already checked all the requirements, especially the needed PHP modules, you will have to look into the log files of the webserver, i.e. the error log should contain more information.

Thank you for your patience. :blush:

Here is my error_log after restarting the server:

AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
[Wed May 10 19:50:38.169204 2023] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 4200] AH00163: Apache/2.4.57 (Unix) PHP/8.2.5 configured -- resuming normal operations

error_log (END)

That’s a portion from my httpd.conf-file:

# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80

Localhost is the only thing I need. So I’ve not set a FQD.
But the log is strange. Should localhost not be 127.0.0.1?

About the modules: I’ve checked them and did it now again. There are two modules, which are suspicious to me: gd and iconv. There are no boxes at the info-page for them. But they are mentioned in the configure-box

I’m not sure, what to expect? Should gd and iconv be in their own box? If yes: How can I fix this?

(Sorry, my knowledge is very limited.)

Did you compile PHP by yourself? Otherwise, the output of configure is not important. Compare the requirements of Kirby with the output of phpinfo(). To accomplish this, create a file phpinfo.php anywhere in the path of your website with the only content <?php phpinfo(); ?>, then open this from your browser. The output will show you everything about your PHP version and modules activated.

Hi Uwe!

Thank you again for your help. :smiley:

No, I’m not able to compile software. I never tried it. I’ve just installed the package from the official repository.

My english is bad, sorry. But that’s what I’ve meant: Except of gd and iconv every module has a box in PHPinfo. I can’t judge if gd and iconv are missing in my installation, or not.

If you want to take a look, I’ve attached a screenshot for you.

Sceenshot PHPinfo

Can missing gd and iconv lead to 404?

gd is needed for thumbnails, so it will result in thumbnails in frontend and the panel not working. iconv is used for string conversion.

I haven’t followed the whole thread here, but let’s go back to step one. The homepage is working apart from the images, but what about subpages and the Panel. If these links are all resulting in a 404, then the main issue is with url rewriting not working.

Hi Sonja!

Thank you for your reply and offered help.

The Starterkit is in a subfolder: localhost/starterkit. With Uwes help I’ve learned, that I’ve to change the .htaccess file: RewriteBase /starterkit

That is done (only change), but with no change. :pensive:

Images, links and the panel are all 404.

Just for reference:

Please add some nonsense at the top of the .htaccess file (just some random letters), and reload the page. Do you get an error?

Hi Sonja!

Done:

qwertz - This is a test. 

# Kirby .htaccess
# revision 2022-09-15

No change at all. No images on index-page, links and panel are not working.

Ok, this means that your .htaccess is completely ignored, otherwise you would have got an error. And that is then the reason why neither subpages nor Panel nor images work.

The problem seems to be the server configuration that doesn’t allow .htaccess overwrites. So you have to change this, here is a random article that explains it: How to Setup & Enable htaccess on Apache {With Examples}

Note that you have to restart the server once you’ve changed the configuration.

Hi,

in your apache2.conf or in the conf of your virtual host you need to set AllowOverride for that directory to All. Then .htaccess will be used.

I ran into this problem a couple of times …

<Directory /your/directory>
    ...
    AllowOverride All
    ...
</Directory>

And then of course

sudo systemctl reload apache2

Hey!
I’ve tried several settings - no luck. I’m stuck. I’ve got no clue where to look again. This is the actual version of my files.

I’v restarted Apache several times with sudo systemctl restart httpd.service.

Static HTTP works: http://localhost/index.html
php-Test works: http://localhost/test.php
Kirby has the mentioned problems: http://localhost/starterkit/

Funfact: php -S localhost:8000 kirby/router.php is working, so it’s a Apache-Problem.

Remove the comment from that line, otherwise all directives in your .htaccess between <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </IfModule> are ignored.

Possibly, you need to adapt the If... directives to your version of apache httpd.

That does the trick. Now it’s working.

A big “Thank you!” to all helpers.

I am glad that this is working now. :+1: I would recommend to make yourself familiar with the configuration of Apache httpd and PHP, otherwise you will run into the next problems soon, i.e. when you try to use https (same problem, mod_ssl is not loaded).
