Random "forbidden" error with websites

thanks for all those precisions.

If i understand, i have to forward ports 80(tcp), 53(tcp,udp) if i want my box act as DNS, 25(tcp), 21(tcp), 110(tcp), 81(tcp), 443(tcp) and 22(tcp) for ssh ?

I'll check all this at home !

 

Yes. Also port 143 if you want to use IMAP.

 

Ok ! it works now !
you can check here :

So, like yesterday, before i messed up my router config, i go back with the "403 forbidden" problem.

I checked my error.log apache file for this site and i have this every time the error page comes :
[Thu Mar 02 20:50:51 2006] [crit] [client 82.227.0.130] (24)Too many open files: /.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

and when i make a top :

One apache zombie.


When i restart apache, the error calm down...

 

confirmed

Yep!

Worked for me

The memory problem has gone - seems it was an artefact of running pre 2.2.0 ispconfig on a 64bit system

Thanks for the great new release - 3 hours to complete rebuild

 

Yeah ! me too !

I decided to reinstall the 2.2.0 on my mac mini an it solve many problems.
No more 403-forbidden pages and apache zombies !
And the update for webmail and phpmyadmin works well.

Thanks guys, see you !

 

This error:

Code:

pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

comes up when the traffic of the website has been exceeded and the website is set to "suspend" in ISPConfig!

 

I'm having the same forbidden issue. I already have more than 100 sites in the server and the error occurs for no particular reason. No connection whatsoever to an IP, DNS, client or suspension, or quota. I don't suspend sites, just warn.

I use ISPConfig 2.2.9 on FC6

 

Can you post the output of

Code:

ls -la /path/to/web

of one of the suspended web sites? Is SELinux disabled?

 

Hi,

I don't suspend sites.
The output of the command is:

and SELinux is disabled.
And I have more than 100 other sites with the same setings as this one.
There was one more site like this one, but I deleted it and created new one.

 

The parent directory isn't executable for all. Directories must always be executable. Please chmod 755.

 

Thanks!

That solved the issue. But I still wander why this is happening?
One more question:
If I set the site to be suspended on traffic exceedance, how would I "unsuspend" it?

Regards

 

It's unsuspended automatically when the new month begins.

 

Please, how to manually force the unsuspend before the new month?
