“ Apache”“ localhost/~ username/”无法工作

所以我最近升级到了 Mac OS X Yosemite,我需要重新设置我的 Apache。我在 /user/kevin下创建了一个文件夹“ Sites”,将文件权限更改为777,并像以前一样取消对 /etc/apache2/httpd.conf中 php5module 行的注释。

Localhost 正在工作,但是 localhost/~kevin/给了我一个 “在这台服务器上找不到请求的 URL /~kevin/。”

这是我的 httpd.conf文件,以防有人需要看。如果有什么问题,我会很感激,如果任何人可以张贴他们的 httpd.conf文件,这样我可以恢复它,并再次这样做。

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/access_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local/apache2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log", whereas "/logs/access_log"
# will be interpreted as '/logs/access_log'.


#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the
# Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used.  If you wish to share the
# same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at
# least PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/usr"


#
# Mutex: Allows you to set the mutex mechanism and mutex file directory
# for individual mutexes, or change the global defaults
#
# Uncomment and change the directory if mutexes are file-based and the default
# mutex file directory is not on a local disk or is not appropriate for some
# other reason.
#
# Mutex default:/private/var/run


#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Looks like you need to uncomment the following:

#LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_userdir.so

and

#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

Then in httpd-userdir.conf you may need to uncomment:

#Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf

Lastly you would need to create /private/etc/apache2/users/kevin.conf if it doesn't exist. I think it should look something like this:

<Directory "/Users/kevin/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

Make sure to restart the Apache server afterwards with:

sudo apachectl restart

Answer from user3814420 is correct if you use path to you project.

But if you still have issue like I had, when using virtual host:

One caveat to note about virtual hosts is that once set up you lose your older document root previously at /LIbrary/WebServer/Documents or accessed in the browser at localhost what happens is that you get a 403 Forbidden Error. But the ~/username document root is still compatible.

To get around this, you need to add in a vhost for localhost and declare this vhost before any of the others, in the same file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Add in:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/
</VirtualHost>

Restart apache

sudo apachectl restart

Changing the WebServer Default User

One of the frustrations of using the Users/username/Sites folder for vhosts is the permissions issues with things like updates and authentication.

This is because the default webserver user which runs httpd is known as _www, which will not be the user in your local account. If your machine is only in use by you and the webserver will run only under your account then you can change the user.

To Find Your User and Group In the Terminal use the id command to see your username and group

id

You will get a bunch of user groups, you need your primary user uid and group gid names

uid=502(your_user_name) gid=20(staff)

After edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

find block

<IfModule unixd_module>

and comment

#User _www
#Group _www

after add new 2 line user uid and in my case group gid defined with id command above:

User your_user_name
Group staff

Following these instructions from start to finish worked for me: https://www.computersnyou.com/3376/setup-apache-php-mysql-macosx-10-10-yosemite/

Basic instructions added in response to suggestion from rozkosz:

These instructions are for setting up apache from scratch after upgrading the Yosemite. It seems like you've done most of this but you need to make edits to your /etc/apache2/users/YOURUSERNAME.conf. In any case, here's a summary of the whole thing:

uncomment the following in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

LoadModule authn_core_module libexec/apache2/mod_authn_core.so
LoadModule authz_host_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_host.so
LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_userdir.so
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

Then,go to /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.confand uncomment:

Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf

Your /etc/apache2/users/YOURUSERNAME.conf file should contain the following:

<Directory /Users/*/Sites>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index index.html default.html default.htm
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Require all granted
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Require all denied
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

Now create the Sites folder in your home directory, restart apache, and all should be working properly.

For the rare person who spent as much time as I did wondering why none of the other resources or posts worked... this is for you. I spent 6 hours (at work) devoted entirely towards getting this damn permission issue solved and here was my solution. PLEASE NOTE: When I initially set out to solve this issue, I could access localhost (in Chrome), getting the desired output of It Works!. So make sure you can at least get that far before moving on.


I'm using PHP v5.5.14 on a Retina Macbook Pro (mid-2014) that is running OS X Yosemite (I tested this again using Apple's recent El Capitan update and confirmed to be a solution!). My problem was that I recieived a 403 ERROR stating that permission was denied whenever attempting to access localhost/~userDirName/. My solution involves 3 simple steps:

STEP #1:

Load the userdir module by finding the following two lines in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and uncommenting them by removing the leading hash (#):

LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_userdir.so
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

STEP #2:

Navigate to /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf and uncomment the following line (in the same manner as step 1):

Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf

STEP #3:

Edit /etc/apache2/users/fileYouMade.conf. You must add Require local and a + character before each argument that is option-specific. The result will look like this:

<Directory "/Users/user/Sites/">
Options +Indexes +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require local
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Resuming for El Captain, with users support:

  • sudo nano /private/etc/apache2/users/username.conf

    <Directory "/Users/noone/Sites/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from localhost
    Require all granted
    </Directory>
    
  • sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, uncomment:

    LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_userdir.so
    LoadModule include_module libexec/apache2/mod_include.so
    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
    LoadModule cgi_module libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so
    LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
    
    
    Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
    
  • sudo nano /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf, uncomment:

    Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf
    
  • apachectl configtest

  • sudo apachectl restart

Taken from here.

here's a script i wrote because i got tired of googling how to do this every time i upgrade os x.

#!/bin/sh


# edit httpd.conf to allow home directories.
# some day just rip out httpd and replace with nginx


bin=$(basename "${0}")
conf="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"


if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]
then
echo "ERROR: ${bin} must run as root. goodbye."
exit 1
fi


# make backup file
n=1
while [ -f "${conf}.bak.${n}" ]
do
let n=${n}+1
done
cp "${conf}" "${conf}.bak.${n}"


# edit httpd.conf in place - uncomment out two lines
sed -i ''                                                                 \
-e '/^#.*[[:space:]]userdir_module[[:space:]]/s/^#*//'                \
-e '/#Include \/private\/etc\/apache2\/extra\/httpd-userdir.conf/s/^#//'   \
"${conf}"


echo "INFO: ${bin}:"
echo "INFO: ${bin}: check that this looks OK"
echo "INFO: ${bin}: % cat /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf"
echo "INFO: ${bin}:"

if [ -f "/private/etc/apache2/users/${SUDO_USER}.conf" ]
then
echo "INFO: ${bin}: /private/etc/apache2/users/${SUDO_USER}.conf exists. See if it is OK."
else
echo "INFO: ${bin}: /private/etc/apache2/users/${SUDO_USER}.conf does NOT exist."
fi
echo "INFO: ${bin}:"
echo "INFO: ${bin}: here is a sample conf file (with php and perl enabled)."
echo "INFO: ${bin}:"

In Apache 2, you've to enable mod_userdir extension, e.g.

a2enmod userdir

Prefix with sudo if required.

Then reload/restart Apache.
