Virtual hosts not working in Fedora 22

Question

Recently I've switched from Ubuntu to Fedora Workstation as my development enviroment to better understand centOS servers (and for other reasons too).

I've been trying to set up a local LAMP stack for developement.

Here is what I have atm:

httpd    Apache/2.4.16 (Fedora), runs as apache/apache,
         mod_php is disabled,
         handler is
         "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost"

php      5.6.14

php-fpm  runs as apache/apache,
         path is /run/php-fpm/www.sock, process type is mpm_event

/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

<IfModule !mod_php5.c>
    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost"
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

I haven't really rouched any of the settings in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. The server and PHP seems to work fine for /var/www/html, but when I try to create a new VirtualHost, I get 403 for all directories. I am trying to a new vhost by adding a config file:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/sites.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName site1.local
    ServerAlias site1alias.local
    DocumentRoot /home/myuser/Projects/site1/www
    <Directory /home/myuser/Projects/site1/www>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

httpd -S

AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's
fully qualified domain name, using ::1.

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost gpc local localhost.localdomain site1.local site1alias.local
::1         localhost gpc local localhost.localdomain

SELinux is set to 'permissive' by using setenforce 0 (seems to be showing warnings but permits the actions).

Whenever I try to browse http://localhost/ or http://site1.local/, I get

Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Perhaps the

AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's
fully qualified domain name, using ::1.
Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

has something to do with this? I've tried chaning ServerName localhost directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but it had no effect. I'm running out of ideas heres. I feel like I'm missing something in the configuration. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Here is your error. Look carefully:

[Sat Oct 31 17:30:18.500583 2015] [core:error] [pid 937:tid 140376476202752] (13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:42036] AH00035: access to / denied (filesystem path '/home/myuser/Projects') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path
[Sat Oct 31 17:30:18.667997 2015] [core:error] [pid 937:tid 140376459417344] (13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:42036] AH00035: access to /favicon.ico denied (filesystem path '/home/myuser/Projects') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path, referer: http://site1.local/

This is happening because Apache doesn't have permission to search (descend, the x permission) one of the parent directories.

To resolve the problem, first check to see which parent directory is missing the proper permissions, e.g. with namei -l /home/myuser/Projects/index.php. Find the directory that is missing the x permissions for all users, and give the correct permissions with chmod a+x /directory.

Answer 2

The error could not qualify fqdn has nothing to do with it, you can fix that by adding an entry to /etc/hosts with your external ip and then the hostname. Regarding the php error: anything in the logs of apache?

EDIT:

Please check the permissions of /home/myuser/Projects it has to be readable for the httpd user apache (at least r-x)
