Subject: [users@httpd] You don't have permission to access /
on this server.
Sorry guys yet another one of these.....
from a newbie
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.53 (Mandriva
Linux/PREFORK-9.2.102mdk)
mod_auth_external/2.2.9 mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7e DAV/2
PHP/4.3.10
proxy_html/2.4 mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.6 Server at
egshs.wa.edu.au
Port 80
I have this web site
http://egshs.wa.edu.au
And on accessing, I am getting the
Forbidden to access / on this server
It appears on the error_log file too..... as
[Fri Mar 24 17:01:37 2006] [error] [client 203.14.53.45]
Directory index
forbidden by rule: /mnt/hd/website/
This means you requested a directory (ie, didn't specify a filename) but apache can't find an index file (ie, a file that matches a DirectoryIndex argument) and directory listing is disallowed.
Just to prove nothing is seriously wrong, check you can get a file directly (eg http://egshs.wa.edu.au/about.html works OK)
[Fri Mar 24 17:01:37 2006] [error] [client 203.14.53.45]
Directory index
forbidden by rule: /mnt/hd/website/
[Fri Mar 24 17:01:37 2006] [error] [client 203.14.53.45]
Directory index
forbidden by rule: /mnt/hd/website/
This error comes in threes ??
My config file has
<Directory "/mnt/hd/website">
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.html
This is correct and the file is OK (http://egshs.wa.edu.au/index.html works) but somehow, it is not being read...
Double check this directive in your file... Any funny characters? Did you edit the file with another editor? Do "od -X httpd.conf" - does it look funny? In extremis, delete the line and retype it (use vi or emacs or something really plain)...
AllowOverride None
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault M0
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
This is also my document root ...
The worry is, that it seems to work ok in IE6 but NOT in
Firefox 1.5 ......
The other scary thing, is that it seemed to work .. and then
I changed
my proxy to
a squid proxy on the same machine that apache is running ..
and then the
error
re-appeared, and is STILL THERE (in Firefox) even when I change my
proxy back
to other proxy....
In Firefox .. when I hit the reload button, it still brings
up the error
message in the BROWSER
but NOT in the error_log file.... I am wondering if Firefox does not
force a reload from the
apache server, through the proxy ... ???
All this funny stuff is almost certainly due to caching in the browsers and proxies. Try shift-reload supposed to force a reload) and/or kill and restart browsers. Same for proxies..
The files and protections seem o.k.
Well, it's a bit weird to have 660 on a normal file - you allow owner and group write access but don't allow others even to read? However, this is not the problem...
BTW, thanks for actually posting a live site and not obfuscating everything - it makes checking it much easier!
Rgds,
