There are a couple of mistakes in the config, read on: > > Alias /readit /srv/www/readit So that means that the URL-path "/readit" takes you to the filesystem path "/srv/www/readit". OK... > <Directory /readit> Problem - "Directory" takes a filesystem path as its argument, not an URL-path. Here, you are assigning directives to a directory called "/readit", which doesn't exist. So nothing in this container does anything. You should have: <Directory /srv/www/readit> or <Location /readit> > Options FollowSymLinks Indexes > AllowOverride None > Order Allow,Deny > Allow from all > </Directory> > > > but it will not work. > > Here is the error .. > > [Wed Aug 16 19:49:18 2006] [error] [client 225.117.79.221] > client denied by > server configuration: /srv/www/readit This means what it says "client denied by server configuration" - nothing to do with permissions (that's a different error, "file permissions deny server access"). I suspect you have (quite rightly) a "Deny from all" directive on the whole filesystem and then an "Allow from all" from the docroot down. So your request for a file in /srv/www/readit fails because it's outside the docroot. If you just fix the path in the Directory above, it should work...
