403 error on PHP - lighttpd

Question

I have set up the fastcgi properly, unhashed it from the module.conf,

[root@xlh lighttpd]# service lighttpd status Redirecting to
/bin/systemctl status  lighttpd.service lighttpd.service - Lightning
Fast Webserver With Light System Requirements     Loaded: loaded
(/lib/systemd/system/lighttpd.service; disabled)      Active: failed
 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
(code=exited, status=255)     CGroup:
name=systemd:/system/lighttpd.service

[root@xlh lighttpd]# php-cgi -v PHP:  syntax error, unexpected '&' in
/etc/php.ini on line 113 PHP 5.3.18 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Oct 18 2012

When I go to localhost/index.php it throws a 403 error. Any idea why?

Answer 1

You may need to set the permissions on the file you are serving to be readable by the server.

This will set the permissions to be editable by the owner, and readable by everyone: 'chmod 644 index.php'
