[gentoo-user] Is there an Apache configuration guide for gentoo?

[gentoo-user] Is there an Apache configuration guide for gentoo?

[David Juhl]

I want my http server to listen on port 8181, and I want to configure
userdir.  

/etc/conf.d/apache2  
APACHE2_OPTS="-D USERDIR"
added Listen 8181 to /etc/apache2/http.conf

/etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mod_userdir.conf
# Control access to UserDir directories.  The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
        AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
        Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
        <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Limit>
        <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
        </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

so if it is read only why can't I read?

Does the user that runs the server process have permissions to read from tha 
directory?

Typically the directory would be owned by apache and the authentication on it 
will be controlled by the apache htpasswd mechanism.  In your case you will 
need to set:

        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All

for each directory.  The ownership of the files is less important - they can 
be owned by any user/root/apache/etc... BUT the permissions on the directory 
must be such so that all can access (x) and read (r) what's in it.  I'm going 
from memory here, so you may need to try out things until you get it to work.

You also need to set USERDIR in /etc/conf.d/apache2.

APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D USERDIR"

I assume it is safe to on put USERDIR because I don't need the others...

still get You don't have permission to access /~david16/index.html on
this server.

Oops!  Add:

 -D DEFAULT_VHOST 

in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and try again (assuming that you have configured your 
webserver as a vhost).

I gave up on apache.  I'm positive the permissions are right, and
coughed it up to not understanding the config files.  I use nginx now.

I use lighttpd and don't have any problems with it. Its configuration
is a bit obtuse, however, so i have had to wrap wrapper scripts to
configure it.

I found nginx....  But the documentation on it is a little hard to
understand.  I tried to follow some examples...  I got it working...
I'll need to play with it some more..
