[Watford] Apache2 Server on Suse 10.2

[walt]

Steven,  Thanks very much for responding.
 
I have run a search for httpd.conf but beagle cannot find it.  As I
still dont understand the logic behind file placements in Linux (I am
beginning to think there isn't any) I will uninstall Apache and
re-isntall it.  Hopefully I will then find it then and apply your fixes.

 
According to various linux sites the the file should be in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but the directory httpd under /etc does not
exist.  Yet the service is running and port 80 is open.
 
I will keep you posted.  Many thanks again.
Walter

Hey Walt,
 
Check your httpd.conf and look for the
 
User
Group
 
I believe by default these are set to nobody.
 
Set these to whatever user your want your apache daemon to run as.
 
Then change the owner of the files to this userid and make sure the user
has at least read access (use chown and chmod).
 
Lastly, check your log files - access.log and error.log.
 
Thanks,
 
Steven Acreman

	Hi,
	
	I hope someone knows the solution to this one. I Installed the
above and
	want to configure it but I keep getting the following message in
firefox 
	with the URL: http://localhost <http://localhost/> .
	
	ACCESS FORBIDDEN!
	
	You don't have permission to access the requested directory.
There is 
	either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
	
	ERROR 403
	
	I am still a newbie and have no idea which directory and/or
document is
	its trying to access. But I have set all the directories under
apache2 
	to full access rights and yet the message still comes up
although I
	logon as root. I have also installed the server as root.
	
	I also checked the web but none of the soltions there work or I
don't
	understand the instructions. 
	
	Look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance.
