Hello sluggers, I've moved an Apache intranet I run on my home office from an ext3 to a vfat partition. I did this by copying the DocumentRoot using nautilus and changing the conf files. Apache now returns "You don't have permission to access /bookmarks.htm on this server" to the browser.
I don't have this problem if I copy the webserver directory to another ext3 partition - seemingly proving that I'm changing the necessary conf info.
So - is there something different about ext and vfat security, necessitating some more sophisticated directory copy process ?
Surely there would be permissions problems as vfat does not have the ownership or permissions that unix files do.
What happens if as root you su to whatever user apache runs as and then try to read the vfat files? If you find that apache cant read the files then you have found the error. If it can read them then look at the conf file again maybe.

I believe it would depend on the permissions set when mounting the vfat partition. You would need specify extra options for who gets read/write access in fstab I think...
