Hi
Again probably missing something.....
the cgibin for Apache 1.3.X (Mdk 9.0) is not accessible (403)
It has been installed from a rpm and files properties are
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 85672 Feb 23 2002 htsearch*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 268 Sep 7 2002 printenv
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35576 Feb 23 2002 qtest*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 757 Sep 7 2002 test-cgi
I saw a couple of web sites with "apache" as group and user.
So I changed it... same thing 403. back to root.
I added FollowSymLinks in Options... no way....
example :
Htdig is showing up Ok, but a search is ending up into a 403 again.
"Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/htsearch on this
server."
Who then ????? :-(
I tried it as root, as me, my wife, the kids, the dog .............
............ 403
The only relevant mail I have found so far is telling me :
"Most Apache configurations forbid use of symbolic links in cgi-bin by
default. You usually have to explicitly add the option FollowSymLinks,
or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch, or use hard links or copies instead."
Should I copy all htdig files somewhere else.... ??
I am lost.
Thanks for any help.
Edouard
