[solved] subdirectory not recognized, gets 404/object not fo

Postby ds7 » 08. December 2011 18:07

Hi everyone,

My setup is Debian 6.0.2, Xampp 1.7.7. After installing I did the following:

  • Changed permissions so that users in a new group 'web' could change files under /opt/lampp/
  • Started server
  • Set security options (no password requirement for viewing pages)
  • Verified the server was working by viewing default home page in browser - the index.php in /opt/lampp/htdocs directed request to the Xampp home page and it displayed correctly
  • Replaced the default index.php with my own (at /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php ), and verified this displayed correctly when I requested http://127.0.0.1/ in browser.
  • Created subdirectory /opt/lampp/htdocs/steve
  • Set permissions same as the parent
  • Put files in the new subdirectory - /opt/lampp/htdocs/steve now contains an index.php and links.php

Now when I request http://127.0.0.1/steve in the browser, it says "Object not found" and 404.

What else do i need to do to get a subdirectory to be served when requested?

Hi ds7,

normally you have nothing more to do.
Please take a look into your Apache error.log file for this HTTP error 404 to find out, which file or folder the server cannot found.

There are a lot of lines like these:
Code: Select all
[Thu Dec 08 08:43:14 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /opt/lampp/htdocs/steve
[Thu Dec 08 08:57:50 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /opt/lampp/htdocs/track


There is no reference to the 'track' path in the files I put there. They do not include the string 'track' at all. When trying to get to the subdirectory in a browser, I tried it with and without a slash on the right end of the URL. Also restarted the server, and it did not make a difference.

Oops, I solved it. Dumb mistake on my part.

I had forgotten that it's necessary to logoff and on again to make permissions take effect. Once I did that, it worked.

Thanks! I hope this helps someone.
