Help

hopefully I understood correctly what your issue is but have you tried setting the services.httpd.virtualHosts.<name>.documentRoot option

try something like this:

{ config, ... }:
{
  services.httpd.enable = true; 
  services.httpd.virtualHosts = {
    localhost = {
      documentRoot = "/srv/htdocs";
    };
  };

  systemd.tmpfiles.rules = [
    "d /srv/htdocs 0775 ${config.services.httpd.user} ${config.services.httpd.group}"
  ];

  users.users.nessa.extraGroups = [
    config.services.httpd.group
  ];
}

from there you can write into /srv/htdocs and access via apache

here’s my config i don’t know where’s wrong from it

oh you’re using your home directory, not /srv

your home directory permissions are too strict so you can either loosen them up or run apache as the root user

see here for how to run as root

it’s fix now i just put this on my config and do this command, thanks for your help sir

chmod o+x /home /home/nessa

     extraConfig = ''
      <Directory "/home/nessa/.htdocs">
        Require all granted
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
      </Directory>
      '';
    };
  };

change that to users.users.nessa.homeMode = "0755"; (or whatever) to ensure things keep working

also, i am not sure that extra config is actually required… :thinking: but i can’t recall for sure

glad we got you sorted :+1:
