httpd : You don't have permission

dplinux · #1 (**permalink**) 2 Weeks Ago

i have httpd installed on RHEL5 webserver

but i have linked

Code:

#ln -s /rhelREPO /var/www/html/rhel5

/rhelREPO contains all 5cds of RHEL and it is a mount of /dev/sdb1

ip: 192.168.1.133 :works /var/www/html/index.html content is in browser
ip: 192.168.1.133/rhel5 :does not work /var/www/html/rhel5/
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /rhel5 on this server.

i have changed

Code:

#/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

</directory />

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks    # i added Indexes
  AllowOverride None
   
 # i added next two line thinking it will work since the /rhelREPO is in / (root)

  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all

</Directory >

</directory "/var/www/html">

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  
</Directory >

why is the directory not being indexed...

First, either you made some mistakes when posting that excerpt from your httpd.conf, as you only have closing tags for the Directory directive, but no opening tags.

Seconds, in order for the web server to be able to access /rhelREPO, it needs the appropriate rights on that directory (at least read, and maybe execute).
