Topic: Forbidden 403s when accessing files/pages on mounted device

[leeyacobi]

Hey,

So i have a script running on my apache that catalogs pictures and clips. All the actual video files are located on a separate drive which is mounted in to a folder in my site. I've set apache as the owner and have the correct permissions on the mounted folder but I'm getting Forbidden errors accessing files even when on html file in the mounted folder.
I know it's a permissions issue at the disk or mounting level but I can't find anything online that may help me.
The way I mount is by using this command:

mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc /var/www/html/media

Thanks,

Do you have a directory setting for /var/www/html/media ?

Hi James,

Thank you for the reply.

I only have directory settings for /var/www/html/ which have the following:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Duplicate that directory block and edit the path to the media folder since it is a different mount. I wonder why it does not inherit it but that is what I would try.

I'm getting the same error

I finally got it working by putting SELinux into permissive mode. This a temporary fix. Does anyone know how to set selinux to allow apache access to a mounted drive?

Thank you

Sorry, this mainly a windows forum. So you might ask in a linux forum how to do that.
