First of all, index.html is not a PHP file, just a regular HTML file. What are the permissions on ~/Sites/Forkan.org? You need world read and execute access like everything else in the Sites folder.
thanks,
in the attached photo, the file index.html is one of many files Unreadable with the ext .html and .php also...
in fact, after i update to 10.8.2 i read the following article :
http://coolestguyplanettech.com/downtown/install-and-configure-apache-mysql-php- and-phpmyadmin-osx-108-mountain-lion
and i did all the instructions inside...
Please note that when i put : localhost
in my browser, i really get :
It works!
But each time i put :
http://localhost/~user/Forkan.org/index.html
http://localhost/~user/Forkan.org/Movies.php
http://localhost/~user/Sample.php
and also :
http://localhost/~user/phpinfo.php (like the file in the article after i made that file and put it correctly of course)
each time i put that i get :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~user/phpinfo.php on this server.
Many thanks for any Help...
What are the permissions on ~/Sites/Forkan.org? You need world read and execute access like everything else in the Sites folder.
Are you really putting "~user" in the url when you should be putting ~yourusername?
Thanks Bob...
YES, my user name is "user" and i am sure (i cheked it by Terminal : i put the command line : "whoami" then i receive : "user", and the folder inside "Users" folder is also named "user")
whatever the permissions for the folder Forkan.org... When i try :
http://localhost/~user/phpinfo.php
i get the message :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~user/phpinfo.php on this server.
so the problem is independant of Forkan folder...
hmmmmm... it is really ubnormal !
in the info panel of the Sites folder, i set the "Sharing and Permissions" to : "Read and Write" for all the users ...
the problem Still exists !
😟
What is your document root set as in your Apache conf file?
Create a dummy html file and put that in your ~user directory. Does it serve the html file from that directory or does the error occur with html as well as php files? Get an html file working first then focus on php.
Dear BobTheFisherman...
as mentioned in my third post above, the error occurs with html as well as php files...
i put a dummy.html file in the "Sites" folder, and put in the browser :
http://localhost/~user/dummy.html
and then in get :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~user/dummy.html on this server.
Thanks for any help...
What are the permissions of your user folder?
which permissions ?? these ??
?
FINALLY .. it is OKEY ...
the problem was in the Apache document root
i set it to "Users/user/Sites" , as in :
http://serverfault.com/questions/161529/how-to-change-document-root-for-apache2- in-mac-os-x
and it is OKEY
Thanks for all...
Sorry, that is not a solution, but a crude hack.
If you are going to do web development, you must learn how to use the Terminal and standard UNIX commands like ls and chmod. Your home directory permissions are seriously wrong.
This is what I have for /Users/jdaniel:
drwxr-xr-x@ 59 jdaniel staff 2006 26 Oct 21:47 jdaniel
This is /Users/jdaniel/Sites:
drwxr-xr-x@ 49 jdaniel staff 1666 24 Oct 21:10 Sites
To fix your home directory, you can do the following two commands in the Terminal:
chmod 0755 ~
chmod 0755 ~/Sites
To fix your home directory, you can do the following two commands in the Terminal:
chmod 0755 ~
chmod 0755 ~/Sites
What exactly these 2 commands do ??
(Please note that, as in the last attached photo, normally the permissions of my user folder are NOT as in the photo... i just did that temporary to check if that solve the problem ....)
The problem was in the Apache document root ... i changed the setting from the default setting (witch is : /Library/WebServer/Documents) to my desired folder : Users/user/Sites
and this was done by BbEdit with the file : /etc/apache2/httpd.conf 🙂

They set the permissions to your home folder and Sites folder to correct values.

Then don't post things like that because they are misleading.

No, it wasn't. All you have done is change your document root to be inside a user directory.
I think that what you need to do is create a user config directory. Mountain Lion no longer creates those by default.
Create a file at path /etc/apache2/users/user.conf with the following content:
DocumentRoot /Users/user/Sites
<Directory "/Users/user/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Change your main document root back to the way it was. Then restart apache.
i can NOT open php local file
