sql-ledger-users

[SL] 403 Forbidden

[Kevin <kon...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I am installing sql-ledger, following the directions
and when I have come to the point at which I point my
web browser to 'admin.pl' I get a "403 Forbidden You
don't have permission to access /sql-ledger/admin.pl
on this server."

Now, this would seem pretty straight forward...  I
checked the permissions of files and directories for
/usr/local/sql-ledger and followed the directions
making templates and users owned and in the webservers
group.

I looked at the docs over and over to make sure I
didn't miss a step and checked the FAQ.  I could be
blind or missing something obvious.

BTW, I write a file called 'index.html' and put it in
/usr/local/sql-ledger and I get the same error there
to.  It has to be a permissions problem though I have
made permissions on everything very lax and I am still
having problems.

I am going to leave this alone for a few days and get
back to it.  Maybe I am just overworked and missing
something obvious.  If anyone has suggestions as to
what I might be missing in the meanwhile I would much
appreciate it.

Thank you for your support.

[SQL-Ledger-users] 403 Forbidden

[Richard E. II <win...@ya...>]

I get a 403 Forbidden when I try to pull up
setup.cgi. I have configure the .htaccess and
.htpasswd files. Any one ran into this problem?

Thank you for your time,
rick

Rick,

You will probably have to review your directory structure in 
http.conf

What is it?  on redhat for example, it is home/http/html/ 
and all standard
docs are here - the doc root for the web. If you have it 
located in
/home/http/sql-ledger/ for example, it is forbidden because 
it is not in
the document root

Go to yourconfiguration file for apache, if that's what 
you're using, read
through it with your directory structure in mind, and you 
should be able
to fix it.

Good luck

JC

I got past that but now when I try to log in I
get an internal error. Any guess on that one?

Thanks 
rick

Kevin;

An important first step is to check if this is the only directory where you have this
problem.

A good place to get inspiration to solve problems is in the web server log files. If
you use Red Hat or a similar directory lay-out, you will find them in /var/log/httpd.
A second idea is to double check that the /usr/local/sql-ledger directory really has
read privileges for the user that is running the web server. In my case this is
'nobody' but your case may be different, like 'apache'.

So I have:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     nobody          8 Jan 14 01:29 admin.pl -> login.pl
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     nobody       2876 Jan  1 20:05 login.pl

A final idea may be looking for problems in httpd.conf. Did you put in the line to
include the sql-ledger.conf at the end of the file?

Include /etc/httpd/conf/sql-ledger-httpd.conf

And the conf file itself is:

Alias /contabil/ /opt/sql-ledger/
<Directory /opt/sql-ledger>
  AddHandler cgi-script .pl
  Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

<Directory /opt/sql-ledger/users>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
</Directory>

Note the ExecCGI keyword and the AddHandler. In this example, Sql-Ledger is installed
under /opt. Access in this case would be by http://my.web.server/contabil/login.pl
