Hi apache users, error_log: [Fri Aug 12 13:04:59 2005] [error] [client 65.214.44.128] (13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied In Browser: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/2.0.54 (Gentoo/Linux) Server at rocoto060.openspirit.de Port 80 This is a fresh install. DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs apache runs as apache/apache permissions are: index.html and htdocs 777; apache/apache all parent dirs are a+x and also apache/apache except /var i left as root/root but also a+x so that should be fine. I also tried with another DocumentRoot /public and created /public/index.html chmod 777 /public -R The correct config file is used i checked via apache2 -V apache restarted (init skript, ungracefully, also tried apachectl2 I wonder especially that in error_log there's only the request path, not as stated in the docs and i'm used to the fs path. Is it correct that error (13) is fs permission error? To be sure that not access control is the prob i put <IfModule mod_access.c> Order allow,deny Allow from all </IfModule> in Directory / additionally to Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs where it is the default. What could i try next to track down the problem??? TIA Florian PS LogLevel i set to "debug" but it's not really verbose, just this one line in the error_log.... -- http://florian-konnertz.de http://openspirit.de - semantic web development --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
