Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by noodl: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PcfgOpenfile The comment on the change is: Ok, Joshua? pfcg_openfile is usually associated with mod_userdir on #apache.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Just ask {{{httpd}}} to stop looking for {{{.htaccess}}} files by setting {{{AllowOverride off}}} in {{{httpd.conf}}} for the relevant directories. - 2. Fix the file-system permissions on the directory. {{{chmod 755}}} is usually sufficient, and you can set stricter permissions if {{{httpd}}} is configured to run under the user or group that owns the directory. + 2. Fix the file-system permissions on the directory path (often {{{/home/user}}}). {{{chmod 755}}} is usually sufficient, and you can set stricter permissions if {{{httpd}}} is configured to run under the user or group that owns the directory. In some cases, this error can also be caused by special file-systems that return unexpected errors on attempted directory access. For example, some file-systems allow files to be treated as directories in certain cases. If {{{httpd}}} believes that a file is actually a directory, it will try to look inside for an {{{.htaccess}}} file. If it gets a permission denied error in return, it will deny access. This type of situation is usually a faulty file-system behavior and cannot be fixed within Apache. In this case your only choice is to turn off {{{.htaccess}}} processing as in the first solution above.
