Apache and no eownload

PB0711 · 04-21-2006, 01:35 AM

Hey and thank you for the help.

I have recently been asked to put some stuff up on our apache web server and unforunatly have little knowledge of how apache works. I have made a link to a download page and the download page works. All pages are php scripts. I have the download files in the right place and I have double checked the file location. However, I get

Code:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /download/packages/xcms_hl.tar.gz on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.49 (Linux/SuSE) Server at metlin.scripps.edu Port 80

is there some allow.conf ? or something like that, that I need to add the download files to. There is one more thing, the files are really big, like 20Gb.

I know !

cheers,

PB

Ps I have done a quick google but with no real luck, happy to look at a good page if someone has one. Thanks

What are the permissions set as on the files for download?

files are set to 744, and I've made sure the user and group are the same as the other downloadable files.

Oh and I know I spelled download wrong opps

Ok I got it apache doesn't want to let a file that big be downloaded
I think it's cannot let it be downloaded! So I'm just going to split the file and make like 20 parts or something.
