[Server-devel] [XSCE] Fwd: XSCE links to filesfrom Moodle

[George Hunt]

David,

It sounds like moodle (a php application running under the httpd server,
which is itself running as the user "apache") does not have read permission
on the files you would like to serve.  I checked my instance of XSCE. My
/library folder has root:root user and group with read and execute
permissions for (owner,group,world) -- (rwxr-xr-x). All the folders in the
path from the root directory to the content you want to serve must have the
"x", and the files you want to serve must have permissions "rw-r--r--"
(readable by world- or you could change group to apache, and make them
readable by group).
You can insure that the files themselves are readable by world with the
command "chmod o+r *"

I'm guessing that you did not put your content at the root level of
/library, but that you created a /library/content directory. If so, you
might need to make the /library/content directory executable, as well as
readable by world -- "rwxr-xr-x" which is achieved by  "chmod 755
/library/content"

Pardon, if I made the incorrect assumptions, or said things you have
already tried,

George
