Hi, this is my first post here :-)basically I have google'd this issue a bit and finally realized that there was no viable solution that I could deduce results from!
I have a few servers running apache and some folders which have .htaccess files in them, I can access these from any network inside the NAT of my router however when it comes down to external access from outside the NAT I always get permission denied; authorized access only??
My systems are behind a reverse proxy handled by Squid but also after Google'ing found that Squid doesn't care about .htaccess and doesn't even know what it is.
Another page I read claimed that it could be an issue of IPS protection system in the firewall - however iptables doesn't contain any config only default and isn't even running I think only in conjunction with fail2ban to prevent DoS attacks. My router, a Cisco 857W, also doesn't have IPS at all and IDS isn't enabled.
Can anyone help me find a solution to this situation?? I have checked the logs for httpd/access_log and error_log only to find nothing mentioned about denying anything.....
Any recommendations are appreciated! Thanks An example of one config file which is the config from Munin is here: [code] ScriptAlias /munin/cgi/ /var/www/munin/cgi/ #<Directory /var/www/munin/cgi/> # Options ExecCGI # SSLRequireSSL # order deny,allow # deny from all # AuthType Basic # AuthUserFile /site/cfg/passwd # AuthGroupFile /site/cfg/group # AuthName "munin" # require group munin # Satisfy Any #</Directory> # Alias /munin/ /var/www/munin/ <Directory /var/www/munin/> Options None # SSLRequireSSL order deny,allow deny from all AuthType Basic # AuthUserFile /site/cfg/passwd AuthUserFile /var/http-passwords # AuthGroupFile /site/cfg/group #AuthGroupFile /var/http-group # AuthName "munin" AuthName "Restricted Files" # require group munin Require user admin Satisfy Any </Directory> [/code]I followed the .htaccess example from the apache.org website and have a single file where password/username is stored for multiple pages.....
