I've checked the folder permissions and they seen ok, httpd.conf seems ok but I get the following errors when trying to access the test html file via lynx :- lynx 192.168.1.10/~alanh !Alert: http/1.1 403 Forbidden! I'd like to get this working - any hints / help / etc?
What permissions do you have on:
/home/username /home/username/public_html /home/username/public_html/index.html ?
I get a similar message with virtual hosts under apache -- I've got three defined:
http://debian/ -- a mirror of koffice.org from CVS for testing purposes http://info.debian/ -- the phpSysInfo program http://doc.debian/ -- Supposedly the Apache manual
The only one that doesn't work is doc.debian -- I've chmod +r htdocs -R to set read permissions for all, and the virual host format is identical to that of info.debian -- but I get the 403 forbidden.
It's got me stumped!
