Re: Forbidden error (Apache Users)

Hi all,

Let me be clear about my points I ve done so far:
1. I have started linux from the ROOT user.
2. Configured setting a prefix path rather than default.Installed and configured successfully.
3. I could see the creation of folders like bin, conf, build, modules.... (13 folders)
4. I ve started the apache as /PREFIX/bin/apachectl start
5. I ve not modified any of the files internally, like httpd.conf.

Finally I ve got FORBIDDEN error. Thats all.

Please suggest me now.

So you have the line "User root" in your httpd.conf?
This is very unwise. Also very unlikely.

Apache has it's own access control system. In order to be able to view
a certain resource the following conditions must be met:
1) The access control statemetns in httpd.conf must allow access.
2) The user apache runs as (and this is usually not the same user you
start it as) must have read access on the resource (and it's
directory)
3) The resource must exist.

>From your error log I get the impression that the user the apache
daemon runs at does not have read access to your webroot. You need to
fix that.
