This is not a Galaxy problem per se, but a problem during Galaxy setup
so maybe others will have an insight.
So we're installing our own Galaxy for production / general use. I've
been following the config and advanced config guides and installed
Galaxy in its own account and home directory. It runs off the built-in
web-server fine - the problem comes when I try to put it through an
Apache proxy. Galaxy has to run off a subdirectory
(http://foobar/galaxy) and if I just rewrite everything through there
(RewriteRule ^/galaxy(.*) http://localhost:7070$1 [P]), it works fine.
The problem comes when I introduce the rewrite rules to have Apache
serve the static content directly. None of the static content shows up
and the error log shows "(13) permission denied" errors. Things I have
tried:
* Logged the rewrite calls to see they rewrite to the correct
paths for the static content
* Checked the proxy-filter and filter-with declarations
* Checked the unix permissions on the static dir
* Tested for non-existent or incorrect paths (which generate a
different error)
* Inserted directory declarations to "Allow from all" for the
static dir
* Checked for and tried .htaccess files
* SELinux is disabled
I feel I must have a blindspot about the solution - any ideas about
where else to look? Technical details: cloned the latest Galaxy
distribution, running on Fedora 9, Apache 2.2.
