Forbidden You dont have permission to access/ on this server

Thanks for your time

But this does not work ....it says "Operqation timed out when attempting to contact 123.123.123.123


Thanks

noooo put YOUR ip address, that was an example IP address.

sorry ....It gives the same forbidden error.What do I do


( sorry for the goof up not much of a thing in comps..u must have guessed it)

Ok do this...

http://YOU_IP_ADDRESS/the_file_name.html

put the filename too, also check the file even exists in the document root.

Did you set the  permissions properly for the default directory of your web site?  Should be 755 for the directory, 644 for the html and graphic files, and 755 for any CGI scripts...

I am sorry ..I am sure its my mistake..may be I am missing something.It does not work

I have given r w and x  permissions to the files( 755) but does not work

Thanks for your time

Can you post what the document root is set to in the httpd.conf (configuration) file?  Perhaps it is looking someplace other than you expect?

Thanks for the response

The DocumentRoot ponts to


<Directory "/home/myName//htdocs">

That double slash is an error - should be:

<Directory "/home/myName/htdocs">

After correcting it, you'll need to stop and restart the server (apachecfg restart should do it - might have to locate apachecfg first<G>).

Then, you want to look to see what DirectoryIndex is set to - that gives the order that pages are selected when you give a directory without the exact file specified.   If you don't have one of those files, you probably don't have Options Indexes set - which means that you don't have permission to view the directory listing.

Hi thanks again for the reply

I did correct it but it dint work

>>Then, you want to look to see what DirectoryIndex is set to
This is how it looks

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

I have the index,html.var in the htdacs directory but I dont have the "index.html"

I tried putting a file names index.html ..but dint work either

>>, you probably don't have Options Indexes set - which means that you don't have permission to view the directory listing.

What do I have to do to view the directory listing....
Since this is installed in my laptop I can log in as root and work

Also ...if this means something

When I try to start the server as a "User"
 user#apachet1 start
(I am unable to start it) I get this error
(13)Permission denied :make_sock:Cannot bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listning sockets available shutting dowm
'Unable to open los

But when "su" and log as the Root
root#apachect1 start
httpd(pid 13843)already runnin

I really appreciate your patience and your effort

Thanks once agin

Sorry ..but it is not working either .I appreciate your patience.Thanks so much.

I was wondering whether this problem is due to the fact that I build  apache as a user and not as a root.Am I supposed to build apache from the source logged as a root.Cant I just run build apache just being a user ...

Thanks for u'r promt replies and suggestions ...I think I figured the error

Though I dont understand why....

It works for

http://localhost:8080/

not for just http://localhost/

I would appreciate if u could explaim me the reson ... thanks

Actually, you're supposed to build apache as a user, so you did things just fine.

The reason that you need to put in localhost:8080 is that the default web port is 80, not 8080.  What is the Port and Listen commands set to in the httpd.conf file?  In most configurations, you'll have:

Port 80
Listen 80

I could not find the Port in the confg file

But the Listen is still pointed to 80
Do I need to change this 8080

Is there any place you configure  the Port

Yes, you can put in the port in the httpd.conf file.   You can also have multiple listen statements - it just means that traffic will be 'listened' for on multiple ports.

Try putting:

Port 8080
Listen 8080

Thanks so much I seem to understand a bit more abt apache now ..
It time for me to delve into the Bioinformatic  problem on hand .But I am sure with the help from you great guys out there I suspect that at least the comp part will not be a problem

I may be back with more questions though .Keep up the good work

I am getting Forbidden You dont have permission to access / on this server

I am using RAQ server, when i tried to open through SSH, it gives Failed to open a secure terminal session

Can anyone helps me out

Thanks in Advance
