Why am I getting a permission denied error on my public folder?
- by Robin Fisher
Hi all,
This one has got me stumped. I'm deploying a Rails 3 app to Slicehost running Apache 2 and Passenger. My server is running Ruby 1.9.1 using RVM.
I am receiving a permission denied error on the "public" folder in my app. My Virtual Host is setup as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sharerplane.com
ServerAlias www.sharerplane.com
ServerAlias *.sharerplane.com
DocumentRoot /home/robinjfisher/public_html/sharerplane.com/current/public/
<Directory "/home/robinjfisher/public_html/sharerplane.com/public/">
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
PassengerDefaultUser robinjfisher
</VirtualHost>
I've tried the following things: trailing slash on public; no trailing slash on public; PassengerUserSwitching on and off; PassengerDefaultUser set and not set; with and without the block.
The public folder is owned by robinjfisher:www-data and Passenger is running as robinjfisher so I can't see why there are permission issues.
Does anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks
Robin
