effigy Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 check your Allow from and Deny from directives in the Directory directive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddogradio Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Where would I find the Directory directive? I read through the Apache documentation but I just didn\'t get it. Can you give me an example of what it should look like? Thanks for helping a noob, Maddog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 within apache\'s httpd.conf file is a directive in this type of format: <Directory /path/to/web/root> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> it typically has more options set.

maddogradio Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 That\'s why I am confused. There is no directive there. I am using Apache 1.3.26 and I searched the httpd.conf file to no avail for a Directory Directive. I wrote in the one you posted but I get an error when I try to restart the server with appachectl command. Where in the httpd.conf file shoud this directive be placed? I am trying to set up a phpNuke site and everything works including phpMyAdmin from the /var/www/html directory. I tried setting up the phpnuke in a directory like this /var/www/phpnuke I created the DNS entries and the Virtual Host in the vhost.conf file I just get the 403 Frobidden access denied page when I try to access it. It says I don\'t have permission to access / on this server. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 and you have non ran apache previously? it sounds like you are missing some important settings, although i\'m only familiar with 2.0. can you link or email your httpd.conf? effigy at devoid dot org.
