hello all
iam facing aproblem with my apache i want to setup an an alias that makes me able to access the documentations out side the document root .....
first i make a dir called test at the /var and
then i creat an html file at the /var/test/index.html
PHP Code:
adam@adam-laptop:/var/test$ cat index.html
<html>
<body><P>hello</p></body>
</html>
so at the apache httpd.conf file i set an alias to make this accessible by the broweser by
http://localhost/test and here is the configuration that i made >
PHP Code:
<IfModule alias_module>
#
# Redirect: Allows you to tell clients about documents that used to
# exist in your server's namespace, but do not anymore. The client
# will make a new request for the document at its new location.
# Example:
# Redirect permanent /foo http://www.example.com/bar
#
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
#
# If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. You will also likely
# need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
# the filesystem path.
alias /test /var/test
as shown i made alia /test /var/test
and when i get my apache up and want to access the page i got this error
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /test on this server.
so what is the problem how ever when i doing ls -ali for the /var/test
PHP Code:
adam@adam-laptop:/var/test$ ls -ali
total 12
