APCUPSD apache interface is not working

On opensuse 42.1 I’m working on trying to get the APCUPSD interface working on apache. I enter the url of “localhost:10000” (which doesn’t work at all) and localhost/apcupsd and that works sort of. I changed the apcupsd.conf file’s directory entries (2 of them) to show /srv/www/cgi-bin from /var/www/apcupsd.(as there is no such directory). Still I get: error 403 - Access forbidden. I commented out the order/deny/allow entries but that still doesn’t work.

Ideas?

As always, you should post all relevant info, eg

  • Have you updated your openSUSE? Typically, the preferred way is to run the following in an elevated console at least once after install
zypper up
  • Where did you get your apcupsd app? And, its version? If it was installed using an RPM, you can run the following. Or, post the name of the tarball or whatever source you used and where it came from (eg Sourceforge?)
zypper up *packagename *
  • Are you running Apache from the OSS or from some other repo or source?
  • Have you tested your Apache deployment and configure using the Yast http-server module(may need to be installed if it wasn’t installed automatically)?
  • What Desktop are you running if any at all? May not be critical but might be helpful.
