Docker tomcat 7 - welcome page access forbidden - linux

I've tried almost everything.
When I go to a docker container by ssh and curl localhost:8080 there, I get normal welcome page, but If I do curl host_machine_hostname:8082 from my hostmachine by ssh or from everything else using hostname of my hostmachine, I get error, access forbidden.
I have read alot of suggestions but nothing helped.
Connector settings without address does not help, Valve rules with allow=".*" does not help, Host address=host_machine_hostname" does not help.
UPD
I'm sorry. I realized about the root of the problem. I'm using a custom fork of the tomcat and there were specific options for ROOT and other preinstalled packages to block everything while the 127.0.0.1 and the localhost are allowed. So I've got this thing working by removing package-specific context.xml files.
This is because the context.xml in webapps/{package}/META-INF/ was modified to block everytyhing, and if to Read TFM, package's context.xml has more power above the global context.xml file, that's why I couldn't change anything by modifying the global context.xml.

apache2 on ubuntu webserver rejects permission to access any other file than the delivered index.html

I am trying to set up a webserver running on Ubuntu. I have installed Apache and changed the root directory to an other directory within /var/www/. When I copy the index.html provided by Apache to that directory, I can access that file via remote webbrowser. But if I want to use a different index.html file, even really basic ones, I get an error: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource". I have also tried to download that html, alter just a few lines and put it back on to the server with the result that it also shows that error. If I rename the initially provided index.html to index2.html I can still access it. I do not understand how it is possible that only this exact file is working.
I have tried to grant more permissions with Directory and restarted Apache but it won't work. I am rather new to Linux and Apache, can only use the terminal on my webserver and I do not know what else to do. Please help.
Change the permissions on the file, too, not just the folder. Pretty sure this fix it.
For diagnostic correction, allow permission for all by typing:
sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/index.html

403 Forbidden trying to access folder on browser

I have a folder in ~/Documents/WebD/ named Tarea which have a public_html folder inside, to access it I have tried creating a virtual host in a thousand ways but it didn't work, now I'm trying to get there creating a Symlink from tarea to /var/www/html/tarea, and accessing via localhost/tarea/public_html but y get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /tarea on this server.
Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at localhost Port 80
I tried a lot of different ways named on forums, changing httpd.conf, give permissions to apache, etc, but non of them worked
Any suggestion?
It could be SELinux preventing Apache from accessing those files. I would try switching SELinux into permissive mode and seeing if your permissions open up. You can read more about SELinux and Apache here.
To put SELinux into permissive mode, do:
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
To put SELinux back into enforcing mode, do:
echo 1 > /selinux/enforce
Hope you have already checked Persmissions for /tarea folder. The User which is running the Apache server should have read/write permissions on the specific directories.

NGINX not picking up changes in Vagrant Synced folder

I have an Ubuntu VirtualBox that's setup by Vagrant. Its running NGINX to serve some static files and a Django app.
I have the source folder synced via vagrant to the repo in my host (windows). I can make changes to a Javascript file in Windows and verify that the changes are made to my file in the VM by SSH'ing in and opening the file in nano.
However, when I make the changes remotely, NGINX seems to serve up the unchanged version with "illegal" characters added to the end (which really freaks out browsers). I get the same file when I CURL localhost while ssh'd into the vm. EDIT It actually does the same thing when I edit the file via SSH
I can reload the vm via vagrant (which re-syncs the folders) and it works fine until the next remote change.
Restarting nginx and gunicorn doesn't help.
Does vagrant lock the files so that nginx has to rely on a cache? What might be going on here?
Thanks!
Apparently my coworker has better Google-foo than I.
This is apparently a known issue with virtualbox and nginx that has to do with the nginx's sendfile. You can simply add "sendfile off;" in either your server or location blocks in the nginx config. Here's a blogpost about it: nginx virtualbox static files

Apache2 Won't Start

I have set up ubuntu server on an old pc with webmin as well. I am not sure what was going on but i restarted the server and when it boots it now get this when Apache tries to start.
* Starting web server apache2
apache2: Syntax error on line 237 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: No such file or directory
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
I have checked this file on this line and it looks like this:
# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include sites-enabled/
I have removed Apache and re installed it but not sure why it still fails.
As also answered by Qben, the issue was an invalid symlink in the sites-enabled folder. Removing the broken symlink and adding a valid one will fix the issue.
You do not have a default site enabled:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: No such file or directory
site-enabled should contain symlinks to files in site-available and I guess your 000-default symlink does not link to a real file in site-available.
I guess this Ubuntu guide might be of interest for you.
One of the reason may be that you might have some site that is not enabled.To check that
Go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Out of many/some [sitename].conf files , one/some may be crossed
Delete those found crossed
Restart apache server
sudo service apache2 restart.
Hope this has helped you , but may be some other reason too. Thank you.

Where to administer apache fallback directory

I have been put in charge of an Ubuntu 13 server installation. Apache is configured to use /var/www as the default directory which is correct. The issue is that it seems there is a fallback directory configured that points to /usr/share. So if I type into a browser (www.address.com) it will serve the documents out of /var/www, but if I know the name of a directory in /usr/share and type in (www.address.com/sharedir) then it will serve out of the /usr/share directory. I have looked in the apache config file and default site config file and do not see this association. I do not want this behavior and am concerned that this is the default behavior out of the box.
Can anyone guide me to another areas where this behavior may be controlled/managed.
Thanks for any assistance.
Open your
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
file and replace
/var/www
to
/path/to/folder/you/wish
save and it will be better to restart apache by
service apache2 restart
Now put website contents to the new location /path/to/folder/you/wish.
Once you changed the Document root of the of the site as mentioned above, Then no files will be fetched from any other location. Hopes this will help you. :)
[SOLVED] After a bunch more digging around I discovered that the user that originally set up this server erroneously put .conf files in the 'conf.d' directory and 'mods-enabled' directory that were routing traffic to the other directories. Sorry to anyone that noodled on this one.
