Giving an Apache server rights to access web pages generated by BOINC to get ride of 403 Forbidden

80 Views Asked by At

[I'm a newbie when it comes to apache or BOINC so bear with any stupid mistakes I make]

What I have:

  1. A successfully built BOINC server in /home/local/srinivas/projects/tesla
  2. A working apache2 server [version 2.2]

What is the problem:

The php and html files generated by the BOINC server are not servable by apache and I keep getting a 403 error. Manually copying the files to /var/ helpse me see the pages but they don't function as expected and this seems hacky

So I followed the guide on the boinc serverpage to make a server. I just need to get apache2 to access the files in my home folder.

What I tried

  1. making a symlink to my project folder in /var/www
  2. changing the owner of my project folder to www-data

Bot these approaches didn't work. Can someone give me some pointers?
