403 forbidden message

skullhunterph · 04-01-2007, 11:03 AM

when i´m trying to type my ip on the mozilla i got a forbidden message

i have activated the httpd in services and created an index file under /var/www/html

What do you think I should do?

check the permissions on the index.html file? needs to be readable by the httpd process owner.

just move to /var/www/html. (Assumming its redhat or fedora.)

#cd /var/www/html

Then issue "ls -l" for the long listing

#ls -l index.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2344 Mar 16 14:55 index.html

This shows root is both the file owner and group of the file index.html
