[Sritharan]

Hi,

I've just started using Apache,need some help on the configuration this my setup;
Os - 11.11
Apache 1.3.19
Chilisoft 3.6.2

when I try to view the page I get this error :

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /prs/main1.htm on this server.

Apache/1.3.19 Server at prsdev. Port 80

the user & group for apache is - daemon

Is there anything I can do, so I can get the page served ???


Thanks & regards
Sri

chmod +r /prs/main1.htm
chmod +rx /prs/

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

chmod +r /prs/main1.htm
chmod +rx /prs/

have a look in the apache error_log

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

chmod +r $WEBROOT /prs/main1.htm
chmod +rx $WEBROOT /prs/

Hi,

I had done the chmod but when I view the page it still show forbidden.
So I did chmod again to the specific file and then its OK.

How can I chmod for all the pages in one time ?

TIA
Sri

Hi Sri .. here are a few things to check

But I think the main one is the user .. i think you should set up www as a user. Like so in your httpd.conf

# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.^M
# . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".^M
# . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
# suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user
# NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
# when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
# don't use Group on these systems
#
User www
Group other

and /etc/passwd www should look like so:
www:*:30:1::/:


Also check /eteam/nickel/web is where my fiels are just change it to where yours are.

DocumentRoot "/eteam/nickel/web"

#

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all



#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#



DONT FORGET TO RESTART APACHE after any changes made to httpd.conf ..

/opt/apache/bin/apachectl stop
/opt/apache/bin/apachectl start

These messages clearly show that the file system where you placed the home directory for the webserver on a non exported file system. Try exporting/sharing the file systems on which /home* are present else none will be able to see them.

I use

chmod -R 555 dirpathname

to set the permissions of all the files in the directory and below to make them readable/servable by Apache.

You can use

chmod -R user:group dirpathname

to set the user and group membership recursively as well.

By the way, the version of Apache you are using is rather old. You might want to consider using a more current version, e.g., 1.3.27 or 2.0.43.
