'Lo all-
I've been silent for a while, but I've got a bad problem right now.
I will prompt the following list of actions by saying I am (obviously) NOT
an apache expert ;-(
A user was complaining that they couldn't get .htaccess to work. I checked
their machine, couldn't figure out what the problem was. Tried to put in
the AllowOverride directive into httpd.conf (because I forgot/didn't realize
it had to go into access.conf), and it kept telling me "AllowOverride not
allowd here" when I'd try to restart httpd. Then I tried putting lines
similar to the following:
<Directory /directory-user-wanted-to-protect>
AllowOverride All
SomeOtherOptions
<Directory>
into httpd.conf. I realize, again, this should've been going into
access.conf. Then I just kept getting error 403's on EVERYTHING on the
server. So, in frustration, I restored the original httpd.conf file that
used to work, restarted httpd...and I STILL get the 403 permission denied
errors on any file on the server!
Here's the access_log lines:
from-host - - [09/Apr/2001:10:39:00 -0700] "GET /sbg/notes HTTP/1.1" 403 219
from-host - - [09/Apr/2001:10:39:26 -0700] "GET /sbg/notes HTTP/1.1" 403 219
from-host - - [09/Apr/2001:10:41:33 -0700] "GET /sbg/notes HTTP/1.0" 403 207
from-host - - [09/Apr/2001:10:42:47 -0700] "GET /test HTTP/1.1" 403 214
from-host - - [09/Apr/2001:10:42:51 -0700] "GET /test HTTP/1.1" 403 214
from-host - - [09/Apr/2001:11:05:55 -0700] "GET /test HTTP/1.1" 403 214
So then I tried copying over an httpd.conf file from an older machine and
pasting in the LoadModules lines, and still the same errors.
Did putting those Directory lines in somehow break apache?
It appears that apache is not longer interpreting the access.conf file? Or
is it something else? PLEASE HELP! This is a new job and I have now just
taken a users web server down; I'm kicking myself for messing with this in
the first place...
Thanks!
