07:25 * abudhabi flails at apache.
07:25
<@abudhabi>
Can someone explain to me the right way to make apache2 follow the damn symlink I put in its /var/www?
07:26
<@abudhabi>
I don't want to put the actual files in /var/www, but rather keep them where they are, under my home folder.
07:27
<@abudhabi>
But apache complains that it's Forbidden.
07:28
<@abudhabi>
I made a symlink, and it works when I navigate in the shell. I get from there to the content directory deep in my /home.
07:28
<@abudhabi>
Permissions for that directory and everything in it are r and x for everyone, so that shouldn't be a problem, right?
07:29
<@abudhabi>
Wait, no, they're r for everyone, but the directories are also x for everyone.
07:31
< [R]>
"I made a symlink, and it works when I navigate in the shell" As Apache's user?
07:31
<@abudhabi>
No, but why shouldn't it work?
07:31
<@abudhabi>
They're not read-protected against everyone.
07:31
< [R]>
What are the perms on /home/user?
07:33
<@abudhabi>
Hmmm. /home and /home/user are fine... but the next one is NOT. Let's change that!
07:33
< [R]>
There we go.
07:34
<@abudhabi>
Apparently not, though.
07:34
<@abudhabi>
apache still gives a Forbidden error.
07:34
<@abudhabi>
Does it need both r and x permissions?
07:35
< [R]>
su - -s /bin/bash apache
07:35
< [R]>
Then just spam ls on various directories
07:37
< [R]>
(where "apache" is the actual user apache runs as)
07:37
<@abudhabi>
No passwd entry for user 'apache'
07:38
< [R]>
<[R]> (where "apache" is the actual user apache runs as)
07:39
<@celticminstrel>
It needs a <Directory> tag or something too, doesn't it?
07:39
<@celticminstrel>
Or is that not required when it's following symlinks?
07:39
< [R]>
Confirm the FS is properly setup for apache to look in there first.
07:40
< [R]>
Then check the configs.
07:42 * celticminstrel doesn't see any reason why that would be easier than the reverse.
07:43
<@abudhabi>
I'm gonna try something different. Apparently, apache does support looking in user directories for content, but you gotta enable it.
07:44
<@celticminstrel>
I think that's the thing where you have example.com/~username/stuff
07:44
< [R]>
Because there are actually tools to test the FS
07:44
< [R]>
Also it's the most likely issue to begin with.
07:45
< [R]>
Yes, that's for the ~username directories.
07:46
<@celticminstrel>
What I usually do is tell it that my root is in the user dir instead of /var/www
07:46
< [R]>
Personally though, I'd just make /srv/http/ (or /var/www/ if you want to be oldschool) owned by the user, and have a symlink to that in /home/user.
07:48
<@abudhabi>
[R]: New issue wrt logging in as www-data - I don't know the password for it.
07:48
<@abudhabi>
Googling suggests it's no password, but that doesn't do it.
07:49
< [R]>
sudo su...
07:51
<@abudhabi>
There!
07:51
<@abudhabi>
Turns out you DO need +x.
07:51
<@abudhabi>
Thanks!

Hm. I have a multifunction printer.
21:06
<@abudhabi>
It's on the network and prints fine that way. Can I get its scanning functions also via network?
21:06
<@abudhabi>
This is Linux Mint.
21:41
<@celticminstrel>
My network scanner has an internal webserver (though, in fact, Apple Preview recognizes it as well). So, putting its IP in your browser may be worth a try.
21:45
<@abudhabi>
That's right! It does have a webconfig.
21:52
<@abudhabi>
But there doesn't seem to be much I can do from there.

abudhabi: I have yet to successfully initiate scans over a network on anything
22:23
< ToxicFrog>
That said, my printer has an SMB server and internal storage
22:24
< ToxicFrog>
So the solution is to walk over to the printer to initiate the scan (which I need to do anyways to feed it the paper), then schlorp the scans onto my computer via SMB once it's done.
22:31
<@celticminstrel>
Mine printer can scan from the webconfig.
