Re: Mythweb Access Forbidden (Apache Users)

I'm sorry Martin, that makes little sense to me. This thing is setup by defaults to point to /var/www/html/mythweb and execute mythweb.php. It isn't supposed to display a file index, so disabling Autoindex seems the way to go. I don't think I need DirectoryIndex because I dont' want a directory -- I want it to execute the mythweb.php script.

Hi Mark,

by directive DirectoryIndex you are enumerate files, which will be listed in case, when client will point only to dorectory. So in case that client will call http://mythweb/ apache will check existence of files enumerated by DirectoryIndex. If it is not able to find them, apache try to do autoindex - display directory in web form.

Autoindex is disabled by Options in your configuration and DirectoryIndex is not present in directory. Logical result of it is 403.

I hope it will help you.

I really hate to bother the group with this issue because my ignorance about
apache access is so profound. But here goes.

I was attempting to get mythweb accessible from the Internet and just all of
a sudden, it was not available (error 403). I have spent hours editing the
hddpd.conf file, the mythweb.conf file, file permissions, implementing and
then deimplementing .htaccess files, and everything else I can find.
Unfortuanately, I can't get mythweb to show up on any browser on my lan.
This after Mythweb ran spectacularly on this system for years. The only
thing I can find that seems amiss is that my web server doesn't seem to
support php_value or php_flag.

Apache
Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-1.5mdv2010.0)
Server built: Aug 16 2010 06:19:58

PHP 5.16

Mythweb 0.23.1

I will be more than happy to point helpers toward httpd.conf , or any other
files, at pastbin if it would help.

Can anybody tell me anything?

Mark,

What does the error log say, exactly?

Frank

Thanks for asking Frank. I've got logging turned up to debugging and all it gives me is this:

[Wed Aug 25 10:04:06 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.106] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/mythweb/

I believe this confirms that it's just a misconfig somewhere on my part.
