apache related problem (HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden )
 

guys i have a major problem my apache server cannot access a certain

website it tells me and my apache server : fatal error: ACCESS FORBIDDEN

if u guys have some cool ideas how can i go through with this IP BANNING

of my apache it will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Make sure the directory or file you're trying to access is world readable. For instance, if your web server's root directory is /var/www, run this command:

chmod 755 /var/www

If that doesn't work, try to access the page or file again and copy the error from Apache's error.log into the forum. You can probably find that file somewhere in /var/log, or possibly /var/log/httpd.

hi man, i just looked over /var/log/httpd, but i didnt found the error that my apache server made...

i really have to access that specific site using my apache server for my phpscript to work...

its just that the current ipaddress my server is using is totally blocked out / banned out.......

If you are using a PHP script to access a page on another server, and THAT server is returning HTTP 403, then you're banned, whether or not you like it. Only the administrator of that site can change that. That's why we call it access control.

can apache server use public proxy server ip addresses instead of the banned ip address?

This has nothing to do with your apache server. It has everything to do with your script. What is your PHP script attempting to do?

hi thanks for your time... here is a piece of my script...




$mainUrl ="http://domainname/webpage.htm";
$mainHtml = '';
$mainHtml = file_get_contents($mainUrl);


i tried using a proxy ip address on my browser and i can get through inside the website, but when i tried running this script

its still not working.

You'd need to code a proxy wrapper into your application. There are a few examples on the php website, just search for 'proxy'.

thanks matir....

can i ask what php site exactly is it?

can u give the url

thanks a lot!:D

another followup question matir...:p

what exactly do you mean by a 'proxy wrapper' is it a php function wherein i can include and attach to my script in order to

use a certain proxy ip address, and run just like how successful my browser is using that proxy ip address.


thanks.

Basically, you need to open a channel to the proxy server, and connect through that channel to complete your request.

This is more than just a couple of lines of code to accomplish, and requires a fairly decent working understanding of proxy servers.

If you happen to be using PHP 5.0 or later, you can use the PEAR::Cache module to accomplish your goal, as described here:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=6701

thanks... i saw an example that uses the same function file_get_contents()

the example:

<?php
$context = stream_context_create(
array('http'=>
array('proxy'=>'tcp://proxy.example.com:5100')
));

$contents = file_get_contents('http://www.somesite.com/pat/to/file',
false, $context);


?>



array('proxy'=>'tcp://proxy.example.com:5100') is where i will input my public proxy ip address say...


array('proxy'=>'tcp://203.215.76.36:3128')


wherein (203.215.76.36 is a public proxy ip and 3128 is the port for it.)


am i on the right track on this one?

thanks again :cry:

You seem to be.

sorry if im taking much of your time matir.... but i just implemented the piece of code... and i had an error but its a different one

its not access forbidden error..

the new error is : failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request


my code is somewhat like this:


$context = stream_context_create(
array('http'=>
//array('proxy'=>'tcp://proxy.example.com:5100')
array('proxy'=>'tcp://203.215.76.36:3128')
));

$contents = file_get_contents("http://domain.com/webpage.htm", true ,$context);


i hope you can help me figure out where does the problem arises.

thank you so much....

Well, it could be that port 3128 is a squid proxy, whereas port 5100 is usually used by SOCKS proxies.

hello there matir i think its already midnight over there... its taking me quite awhile until my script to be done...

is it ok if you visit my thread after you wake up? ill still post some issues regarding this matter when it gets done.

thank you very much for the help i extremely appreciate it... and more power to you....:p

sorry about this martir,,,,

because i got a new error:

failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

my script is:



$context = stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('proxy'=>'tcp://203.167.109.146:5100')));

$contents = file_get_contents("http://domainname/webpage.htm", false ,$context);

Just changing the port to 5100 won't work unless there's a Socks 4/5 proxy server on that host.

hi there again matir;)

i saw some free socks proxy sites would this work? even if the port is not exactly 5100?

the sites are:

thanks:)

You just need to make sure its pointed to a valid proxy.

ive tried several socks proxies listed but i keep on getting this warning:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.yahoo.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond


my code is:

<?

$context = stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('proxy'=>'80.108.112.111:32167')));

$contents = file_get_contents("http://www.yahoo.com", false ,$context);


?>

socks4/5 i tried were:

201.235.78.20:1080 socks 4/5 Argentina
200.114.224.112:1080 socks 4/5 Argentina
200.126.186.153:1080 socks 4/5 Argentina
84.112.18.48:1080 socks 4/5 Austria
80.108.4.231:1080 socks 4/5 Austria
80.108.28.208:1027 socks 4/5 Austria
80.108.112.111:32167 socks 4/5 Austria


i tried them all, but all of them went in vain.... :(

hrrm. have you tried any http proxies?

And what version of PHP are you running?

i have PHP 5 here......


i tried using http proxies my code is:


<?


$context = stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('proxy'=>'http://82.229.128.171:8080')));

$contents = file_get_contents("http://www.yahoo.com", false ,$context);




?>


i got a warning that says:


Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.yahoo.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Unable to find the socket transport "http" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

Try removing the http:// from the front of the proxy name.

i did that my code now is:


<?


$context = stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('proxy'=>'82.229.128.171:8080')));

$contents = file_get_contents("http://www.yahoo.com", false ,$context);




?>


warning says:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.yahoo.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Try taking a look at the information on this page: http://livedocs.php.mirrors.powertri.../wrappers.html
