Apache 2.2 User Permissions / Public access folder

apache-2.2user-permissions

website.com:8080 is set to require a password. However, I need website.com:8080/public to be accessible to anyone.

I found this example with Apache 2.3 which is exactly what I want, but I'm using 2.2 and AuthType None is not supported.

<Directory /www/docs>
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName Documents
   AuthBasicProvider file
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords
   Require valid-user
</Directory>
<Directory /www/docs/public>
   AuthType None
   Require all granted
</Directory>

Best Answer

<Directory /www/docs/public>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
  Satisfy any
</Directory>

The "Satisfy any" means that the "Allow from all" will be sufficient, even without the "Require valid-user" being satisfied.

Centos – WebDAV on CentOS – getting 403 error when attempt to upload

I recently struggled with the same problem on my Fedora 10 system. In my case the culprit was some odd redirection that I was doing in Apache. Specifically, I use a content management system (Drupal, to be exact) that within it's .htaccess includes the following redirection logic to redirect missing files to a PHP script:

# Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

It makes sense that the above only affects the PUT method since in that case REQUEST_FILENAME does not exist.

Not having the WebDAV area inside of the Drupal area, which seems like a reasonable constraint, fixes the problem.

Also, I think it is likely that SELinux would result in a different error, but it's not mentioned in the discussion above. Did you try disabling SELinux?

Debian – Apache + LDAP Auth: access to / failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler

Your 'Require' line reads

Require ldap-group cn=CHANGED, cn=CHANGED

That doesn't look write - I don't believe you can have have two cn's in a DN like that.
