Error 403 with Apache2 installation

Hi, I have installed Apache2 and not able to display test HTML pages. I
did research on other posted threads but didn’t get good help.

I CREATED A TEST1.HTML IN ‘/SRV/WWW/HTDOCS’.
DID ‘HTTP://LOCALHOST’ AND GOT ‘ERROR403’
Here is the default-server.conf’

Global configuration that will be applicable for all virtual hosts,

unless

deleted here, or overriden elswhere.

DocumentRoot “/srv/www/htdocs”

Configure the DocumentRoot

<Directory “/srv/www/htdocs”>

Possible values for the Options directive are “None”, “All”,

or any combination of:

Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI

MultiViews

Note that “MultiViews” must be named explicitly — “Options All”

doesn’t give it to you.

The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please

see

‘core - Apache HTTP Server’

(http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/mod/core.html#options)

for more information.

Options None

AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess

files.

It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:

Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

AllowOverride None

Controls who can get stuff from this server.

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Aliases: aliases can be added as needed (with no limit). The format

is

Alias fakename realname

Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server

will

require it to be present in the URL. So “/icons” isn’t aliased in

this

example, only “/icons/”. If the fakename is slash-terminated, then

the

realname must also be slash terminated, and if the fakename omits the

trailing slash, the realname must also omit it.

We include the /icons/ alias for FancyIndexed directory listings. If

you

do not use FancyIndexing, you may comment this out.

Alias /icons/ “/usr/share/apache2/icons/”

<Directory “/usr/share/apache2/icons”>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.

ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that

documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and

run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the

client.

The same rules about trailing “/” apply to ScriptAlias directives as

to

Alias.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/srv/www/cgi-bin/”

“/srv/www/cgi-bin” should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory “/srv/www/cgi-bin”>
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user’s

home

directory if a ~user request is received.

To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in

APACHE_MODULES

in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>

Note that the name of the user directory (“public_html”) cannot

simply be

changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache

package

would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting

/usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would

be

executed with the UID of the webserver.

UserDir public_html

The actual configuration of the directory is in

/etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf.

Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf

You can, however, change the ~ if you find it awkward, by mapping

e.g.

http://www.example.com/users/karl-heinz/

/home/karl-heinz/public_html/
#AliasMatch ^/users/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.])/?(.) /home/$1/public_html/$2
</IfModule>

Include all *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/.

This is mostly meant as a place for other RPM packages to drop in

their

configuration snippet.

You can comment this out here if you want those bits include only in

a

certain virtual host, but not here.

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf

The manual… if it is installed (’?’ means it won’t complain)

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual?conf

I HAVEN’T MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE ‘HTTPD.CONF’
Please suggest something…

Thanks

You have to go to http://localhost/test1.html

By default directory indexing is turned off in Apache2 on OpenSUSE.
