In a new install of Apache 2.0.52 we have edited the standard httpd.conf and added an alias to our own html directory which contains files produced by our application in the /usr area. We have always used exactly the same configuration in previous installations of RH and httpd eg: httpd-2.0.40- 8. The alias is called /ADVAN/ that points to a directory under /usr. Attempts to access it return an error "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /ADVAN/ on this server. Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at 89.0.0.210 Port 80 We have made all the relevant file permissions 777 just in case but it makes no difference. Is alias broken in 2.0.52 or has there been some major change to access controls in Apache? Thanks in Advance Ken -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
