I have successfully enabled and installed the WSL on my Windows 10 laptop, after the anniversary update. I also have installed apache.

The default apache webpage is available at http://localhost so it works.

What I would like to do is to change the document root configuration to the mounted Windows disk partition, in /mnt/d/Dropbox/blog. I have checked the blog folder and set :

chown to www-data:www-data
chmod to 755

After service restart, I get the

Apache 403 Forbidden Error

I have checked over the internet, but no serious issue. Do you have any idea?

Do you have a Directory directive for that folder that grants access? – Florian Diesch Aug 29 '16 at 09:42
Is your /mnt/d/Dropbox/blog in a Windows partition? – Anwar Aug 29 '16 at 10:53
Yes this is a NTFS partition (it is my laptop - host machine partition) – JayBee Aug 30 '16 at 14:07
From the linux console, I can read and write files, set the correct permissions. I have seen some threads in which they unmount and mount again the partition, but that should not be possible since I'm running Ubuntu from WSL... Anyway, I have asked my question on Github so developers can tell us more about how is the ubuntu machine integrated in WSL... See here : linkhttps://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/1015 – JayBee Aug 30 '16 at 14:12
Does this answer your question? Ubuntu for Windows 10: All files are own by root and I cannot change it – muru May 12 '21 at 16:05
