Bug ID: 65508
Summary: Joomla! requires htaccess
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4-HEAD
Hardware: PC
OS: Mac OS X 10.1
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: richardh9...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Joomla! installation on Debian-based system only succeeded after I changed that
to "Require all granted".
Please update Apache help forums and cwiki.apache.org "Deborkification" to ask
Debian users to beware of needing this change.
Secondly, Deborkification and many other entries still discuss Apache2.2 code,
specifically "Deny" rather than "Require".
TO EXPLAIN:
To install Joomla! on Debian 10 Buster at home, I configured a virtual host
using the standard instructions from cwiki.apache.org.
The Joomla installation process failed repeatedly, with error 403,
ClientDeniedByServerConfiguration.
"Deborkification" in cwiki.apache.org provided the useful hint on its very last
line.
Quote:
Now the problem here is the directive Deny from all, which effectively denies
access to the proxy, leading to 403 Errors ClientDeniedByServerConfiguration
errors in the ErrorLog.
EndQuote.
Debian uses "apache2.conf" stored in /etc/apache2 to configure global Apache
<Directory> and <FilesMatch> parameters.
Debian packagers have set access to .htaccess to "Require all denied".
Joomla! installation only succeeded after I changed that to "Require all
granted".
cwiki.apache.org explains in HTaccess why Joomla! packagers require HTaccess -
they don't have sufficient access to amend the apache2.conf or httpd.conf files
and restart Apache. Nor should they.
