Hi,

I installed squidanalyzer-5.4.tar.gz, following this tuto http://squidanalyzer.darold.net/install.html and setting as recommandation but when I run http://hostname/squidreport I get error below :

You don't have permission to access /squidreport/ on this server.

Could someone help?

The error is very clear; the web engine doesn't have permissions to open that directory. What are the permissions on the directory in question? You don't tell us what version/distro of Linux you're using, but chances are the http server is running as user apache, so if the directory isn't owned by apache, or doesn't have permissions to write/read, you'll get that error.

So, either chmod that directory to give further permissions, or chown to get things to work without granting additional permissions. The chown is a bit safer, since you could then have the directory at 755 (rwxr-xr-x), owned by apache:apache.

ok, I'm in RHEL6.3, I already changed the owner as apache:apache but still having this error.

But it's ok right now, there is some perl package missing and it's working now.

Thanks,

You still don't post what the permissions/owner of that directory looks like, and are you sure the web engine is running as user apache, and not something else?

And your reply is confusing...you say you're still having the error, then say it's WORKING? The two can't both be true...if you can't access that directory, things will fail and NOT work. And since you're using Red Hat Enterprise, have you contacted Red Hat support? You are PAYING FOR RHEL, right?

I mean, I already changed owner to apache:apache and had this permissions :
#ls -lr /var/www/
drwxr-xr-x 4 apache apache 4096 Aug 12 14:30 squidanalyzer
But it was not solving the issue but when I run manually /usr/local/bin/squid-analyzer I found that this package is missing perl-Time-HiRes, after installing this package it's working now.

thanks,

Hi!

I'm changing permissions for directory, but error (Forbidden You don't have permission to access /squidreport on this server.) is standing...

p.s. Slackware 14.1


P.P.S. For Apache version >= 2.4
