Please help me.
I installed ubuntu on my laptop to try OJS but the problem is that when I install apache2 it installs on a directory /host/wamp/bin/ and nothing is installed on /var/www thus when I start OJS with command localhost/ojs I get an error message saying: You don't have permission to access /ojs/ on this server
Please help me.
Thank you

We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.
What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:
1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.
2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.
3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

Hi Dr. Attia,
This sounds like more of a configuration issue with Ubuntu than an OJS issue -- I would check the Ubuntu forums and documentation for some possible tips on running web applications locally. You may also want to search our forum for permissions-related threads; and also take a look at our tutorials, which include videos on installing Apache, MySQL and PHP on Ubuntu.
Cheers,
James

Hi James,
Thank you very much for your reply. I did look at the tutorials and solved the issue already. Sorry if my question was irrelevant to the forum.

Sounds more like a problem with httpd in apache.
You have to create and apply permissions for all virtual hosts, and OJS is your virtual host.
You need to test a basic setup directly. If the laptop is just being used as a test bed for OJS, and you are not a seasoned apache2 user, I would remove the separate installations of PHP, mySQL, and apache and put a LAMP server in instead. LAMP servers, like WAMP servers come with VERY EASY to follow menu systems, including a web based one, to do all the additional configurations, comes with phpmyadmin, and permit enormous fine tuning possiblilities in things like php.ini, restarting server etc.
