I'm running OpenSuSE Linux and installed apache, php, mysql, vsftp for web experiments.

I installed Wordpress on local Apache but... problem comes from here. So I've localhost/wordpress as root directory, which is /srv/www/htdocs/wordpress/ of course there is content directory and plugins and themes...

Wordpress can see installed plugins and themes, but doesn't see sub-directories of theme directory. So no images, nothing else what is in sub-directories isn't displayed. I 've checked, it isn't a theme issue.... something on Apache needs to be configured.

  • Have you looked in the apache error log ? /var/logs/... (there are variations depends on you config). So look at your config /etc/apache/httpd.conf etc to find the log files and then look in the logfile error.log for a clue. Commented Feb 23, 2014 at 2:37

The permissions on the directories and sub-directories needs to be such that the user running Apache can access them, at a minimum readonly, plus the execution bits need to be enabled on ALL these directories so that Apache's user can access them too.

You'll likely want to run a command like so:

$ find /srv/www/htdocs/wordpress ! -user apache -ls 11141795 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 saml saml 4096 Feb 21 15:42 . 6562124 752 -rw-rw-r-- 1 saml saml 766590 Dec 6 19:59 ./dsohowto.pdf 11141812 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 saml saml 44 Feb 21 15:42 ./url.txt

This will identify any directories or files that are not owned by user apache. Which I'm using as a stand-in for whatever user happens to be the user that is designated for Apache.

$ grep ^User /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf User apache

You can see what groups the apache user might be a part of as well. Often times the "htdocs" directories will be grouped so that apache can see them instead of giving outright ownwership to the apache user.

user

$ getent group apache apache:x:48:

groups

$ getent passwd apache apache:x:48:48:Apache:/usr/share/httpd:/sbin/nologin
