apache-newby: permissions?
I have succeeded in setting up apache on my single computer and get
netscape and lynx to communicate with it.
My next problem is that I do not know how to configure apache to allow
me as user to execute .cgi-scripts from the server.
When I try it I get the following error message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/sql-ledger/admin.cgi
on
this server.
I want to try out php3 which I have never used before. I get a
similar message when I try to access
http://localhost/usr/doc/php3/html.
My /etc/apache/access.conf contains
------------------------
<Directory /var/www>
Options All
AllowOverride None
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options All
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/doc>
Options All
AllowOverride None
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from localhost
</Directory>
<DirectoryMatch ^/home/.*/public_html>
Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride None
</DirectoryMatch>
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
---------------------------
And permissions on /var/www looks like this:
drwxrwxr-x 5 root www-data 1024 Aug 8 21:52 www/
I work as user jhspies and I have added jhspies to group www-data.
What else can I do rectify the situation?
