My machine is currently a dual boot between Ubuntu saucy and Win 8.1. I would like to have a common directory for my web development files and so I'm trying to make an alias for apache pointing to my shared folder on my secondary data disk.
I created a /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/linuxshare.conf
file containing:
Alias /lnxsh "/media/Data/LinuxShare/lampTest"
<Directory "/media/Data/LinuxShare/lampTest">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
By all I get when accessing http://localhost/lnxsh
is:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /lnxsh/index.html on this server.
Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
I looked around the internet and found that most of the time this error was because of permission issues. After many tries I edited my fstab to mount the partitions with rwx partition with my user and group:
#Auto mount NTFS Data partition on /dev/sdb2
/dev/sdb2 /media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,auto,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8 0 0
#Auto mount NTFS C: partition on /dev/sdb2
/dev/sda2 /media/Computer ntfs-3g defaults,auto,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8 0 0
And with an ls -l I can easily check that I have the right permissions:
user@computer:/media/Data/LinuxShare/lampTest$ ll
total 1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 12 déc. 7 19:15 index.html*
What can I possibly be doing wrong? I've tried everything including changing apache env variables to change the user from www-data to my own user...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
