 |
|
I have a chroot jail setup for a directory "/home/jail/Videos/" I am trying to also make that directory visible via apache without removing the chroot jail. Apache was able to view this directory prior to setting up the chroot, so I assume this has something to do with permissions.
| Code: |
jake@Kratos:~$ apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu 14.04)
Server built: Jul 22 2014 14:36:38
|
| Code: | The current permissions are:
/home/jail/videos | jake:jake 0755
/home/jail | root:root 0755
|
| Code: | Relevant Apache Config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/jail
ServerName media.****.net
IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst
IndexOrderDefault Ascending Name
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost> |

The strange part is I created a index.html file that simply says "It Works!" in the /home/jail directory and I am able to successfully see that file using a web browser. But I am unable to navigate into any sub-directories. I am however able to access a file if I know the whole path though.
For example:
I can access /home/jail/index.html by vising media.****.net
I cannot access /home/jail/Videos/Personal/ by changing the address in the address bar.
I can access /home/jail/Videos/Personal/Movie.mp4 if I manually type the entire file path in the address bar.
This to me says that mod_dir is unable to index the folder contents (probably because of the permissions). I do not want to create index.html files in each sub-directory containing the contents of the directory. Anyone have another solution?
Thanks

easy fix, I had to add
| Code: | <Directory "/home/jail">
Options Indexes
</Directory> |
to the config file.
