Re: {bb} Forbidden

[Stephen.Fischer@nt.gov.au]

It sounds more like an apache configuration issue than anything else, but if you
really want to use the symbolic links, you probably need to add the following
directive to the appropriate place in your httpd.conf file:
      Options +FollowSymLinks
Now run:
      # ln -s /home/bb/bb1.9i-btf/www /var/www/html/bb

Instead, you could define an alias - ours is something like:

    Alias /bb "/home/bb/bb1.9i-btf/www"
    <Directory /home/bb/bb1.9i-btf/www>
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

Either way should make the page visible at http://<server>/bb.

The pages need to be readable by the owner of the Apache process.  I've just
made the directory and all files in it world-readable.

Can anyone help me with this problem?  I have read the archives and Forbidden
problems in the documentation with out finding an answer.  I am running RedHat
ES ver4 with Apache.  My Apache process is owned by user and group apache.  Big
Brother is owned by user bb.  I have tried everything I can think of such as
changing the user and group to several different combinations of bb, apache even
root.  I have chown’d the files all the way to 777.  I have installed bb several
times making apache the owner and also installed making bb the owner.  I have
set the umask to 022 (which is the default on my system) in the runbb.sh script.
The only time I have been able to successfully view the bb web page is when I
create a new folder and copy the bb/www files in to the new directory.  This
leads me to believe it is some sort of rights issue.  When bb updates the files
I go right back to forbidden.  Apache is working as I already am serving pages
on the server.  I have also setup bb in a couple of ways.  I currently have the
www directory located in my document root /var/www/html/www with a symbolic link
in the home/bb directory to the www folder.

Sincerely;
Stumped, stuck and confused
