Web browser just shows Index of/

So i’ve been at this for awhile now, I’m trying to do a install of RT 4.4.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 with this guide and when I get to the moment of truth to find out if you install was successful I get this.

index2

If i click on html it takes me to the default Apache page.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

You did not configure your web server. Without seeing the configuration it’s difficult to tell what is missing…

Gerald do you know which .conf file it is? Would it be this file?
/etc/apache2/sites-available/rt.conf

It depends on whether that site file is enabled or not.

ls -laR /etc/apache2/sites-*

shows all sites you have available and those actually enabled…

I also realized that my ssl setting were wrong so now I have this displayed.

            #   SSL Protocol Adjustments:
            #   The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
            #   approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
            #   the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
            #   approach you can use one of the following variables:
            #   o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
            #        This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
            #        SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received.  This violates
            #        the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
            #        this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
            #        mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
            #   o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
            #        This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
            #        SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
            #        alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
            #        practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
            #        this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
            #        works correctly.
            #   Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
            #   keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
            #   keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
            #   Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
            #   their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
            #   "force-response-1.0" for this.
            BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \

Hi Jaibers

What are the permissions on /opt/rt4/(local | share)/static

Garry

This is what I got from doing ls -la on /opt/rt4

do you have a static directory in local with css and js in? if so what are the permissions and ownership of that folder

So Gary I have a /opt/rt4/local/static directory but there is nothing in it.

Gary its looks like all my css files are in /opt/rt4/share/static/css or /opt/rt-4.4.2/share/static/css.

thats where they should be unless you’ve made local modifications. Im wondering if the local static folder is overriding the share static folder

Right, so you’re back to more or less where you were before. Can you take a look at the web server logs to see if you’re getting 302 redirects for the CSS still?

If you are, can you use your web browser’s inspection/developer tools to look at the network requests being sent so that you can see what URL the 302 response from the web server is suggesting? The browser developer tools may give some idea as well if it’s a misdirected URL or something else (such as a loop).

So bare with me Jim, /var/log/apache2 has these logs; access.log error.log other_vhosts_access.log. Which log file am I looking through? I don’t think this matters but that last post that I had the exact same problem was Centos 6 and this is Ubuntu 14.04.

I found this while viewing the page source.

inspect error

Try commenting out the above line from your port 80 virtual machine and restart the web server to see if that stops the redirection loops if you got straight to the https:// URL for your RT instance. If not, you must have something else in either your config or the network between your browser and the server (eg a proxy server, load balancer, etc) that is rewriting URLs and/or issuing redirects

Incidentally it is a bit tricky to read your configs as the formatting is a bit messed up. If you post any more, check the formatting in the preview pane to ensure it matches up with what you have in the file.

Jim I do apologize for my poor formatting, I commented out the Redirect / https:// and it didn’t change the lack of java and css.

I inspected it again on chrome and I did find this;
bad syntax

This is the .(index):39

So from what I can understand its looking for a Stylesheet but a javascript file is what is being found.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated, thank you all again.
