CentOS Perfect Server: Sub-domain Generating 403 Forbidden

Hi guys. I have installed ISPConfig as instructed by the Perfect Server guide for CentOS 6.4. I've also created multiple sites and sub-domains without any issues. However this particular sub-domain is giving me a problem. It's generating a 403 Forbidden when trying to navigate to it.

I have verified the directory for the sub-domain is owned by the correct user/group and is 755. I've also verified the directory has an index.html file which is 644.

When I compare this sub-domain with my many working others - it is setup identical.

Lastly, when I navigate to the directory the sub-domain points to it works fine and I don't get a 403 error. Meaning, if I go to sub.domain.com I get 403, but if I go to domain.com/sub/ it works fine.

Does anybody have any insight or potential ideas I could try? Thanks!

 

Hi till.

I verified the DNS is correct. I have the subdomain's A record pointing to the same IP address (the IP of the server) that the others are pointing to. I also verified that the vhost file is correctly ending in '.vhost' and not '.err'

I also just took a look into the vhost file and the redirect configs are exactly like the others that are working:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
                DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.cc/web

                ServerName domain.cc
                ServerAlias www.domain.cc
                ServerAlias dev.domain.cc
                ServerAlias blog.domain.cc
                ServerAlias box.domain.cc
                ServerAdmin [email protected]

                ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.cc/error.log

Code:

                RewriteEngine on
                RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^dev\.domain\.cc$ [NC]
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webdav/
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dev/
                RewriteRule   ^/(.*)$ /dev/$1  [L]
                RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^blog\.domain\.cc$ [NC]
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webdav/
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/
                RewriteRule   ^/(.*)$ /blog/$1  [L]
                RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^box\.domain\.cc$ [NC]
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webdav/
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/box/
                RewriteRule   ^/(.*)$ /box/$1  [L]

In the above example, blog.domain.cc and box.domain.cc are working, but not dev.domain.cc.

Here is also just a directory listing in case it helps:

/web directory:

Code:

drwxr-xr-x  5 web15 client2 4.0K Apr  8 22:46 blog
drwxr-xr-x  9 web15 client2 4.0K Mar 13 15:02 box
drwxr-xr-x  2 web15 client2 4.0K Apr  8 17:24 dev

/web/dev directory:

Code:

drwx--x--- 11 web15 client2 4.0K Apr  8 16:40 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 web15 client2   12 Apr  8 16:39 index.html

For the heck of it I tried just deleting it and recreating it, but that didn't solve anything. Grrr.

 

So I think there is just a problem with using the word "dev" in either the subdomain or redirect path or something. Because I just set up 2 more subdomains on the same site and those two are working perfectly. This could be a bug in the software I'm thinking.

 

Hmm okay till. Not sure what else it could be, but nevertheless, I guess I'll just have to use something other than "dev". Thanks for all your input though! Super helpful as always!
