[SOLVED] Apache Virtual host document root AND proxy file access forbidden

Issue

I am setting up my personal domain and I have this config:

ServerAdmin [email protected]

Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/brentc.in"
    ServerName brentc.in
    ServerAlias www.brentc.in
</VirtualHost>

Listen 443 https

        ProxyPassReverse        http://localhost:8081/jira
        SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

For the first domain (brentc.in) I can access index.html just fine. For the second domain (atlassian.brentc.in) it shows the apache sample (test 123) page and when I explicitly go to index.html it says I'm not allowed to access the file.

My file permissions are exactly the same as the working index.html. Am I missing something here?

The atlassian.brentc.in is also a proxy to a behind the scenes tomcat server. My intention is, when you go to atlassian.brentc.in it shows you a landing page. Then from there you can go to atlassian.brentc.in/jira.

The error_log contains this:

[Wed Jun 14 10:43:47.714099 2017] [authz_core:error] [pid 4399] [client <ip>:58299] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /www/atlassian.brentc.in/index.html
[Wed Jun 14 10:43:47.952670 2017] [authz_core:error] [pid 4399] [client <ip>:58299] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /www/atlassian.brentc.in/favicon.ico, referer: https://atlassian.brentc.in/index.html

Solution

i think you need to add something like this

<Directory "your/sample/directory">
    # AllowOverride All      # Deprecated
    # Order Allow,Deny       # Deprecated
    # Allow from all         # Deprecated

    # --New way of doing it this is the important part
    Require all granted  
</Directory>
