Only thing I see in the access log is a bunch of: 127.0.0.1 - - [18/Feb/2009:15:26:39 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 1039 127.0.0.1 - - [18/Feb/2009:15:28:26 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 1051 > If you have perl installed on that Suse machine, try the following > command, from a command-line window on the same machine : > lwp-request -m GET -Sed http://localhost > and post here what it answers. I get: # lwp-request -m GET -Sed http://localhost GET http://localhost --> 403 Forbidden Connection: close Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:26:39 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Linux/SUSE) Vary: accept-language,accept-charset Content-Language: en Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Client-Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:26:39 GMT Client-Peer: 127.0.0.1:80 Client-Response-Num: 1 Client-Transfer-Encoding: chunked Link: <mailto:admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; /="/"; rev="made" Title: Access forbidden! So that basically confirms that localhost is denied. How do I allow access and does it seem safe to allow it? The configuration is: <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/> AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Thanks, James --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
