Good Day Everyone,

I must admit I am not a Linux or Apache expert so I am at a complete lost on why I keep getting the 403 error.

I am currently running Apache2 on a Suse Linux box and everything is running great. So My boss wants a backup box to go into are backup center. So using the same version I completely cloned the system that is up and running.

The complete web site is under /home/ and it has a index.html file. All rights are good and my files httpd.conf and defaultserver.conf have been configured (just like the running server) but when I try to access the web page I get

Access forbidden You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.


when I check the logs I get the following:
Kelly Kernel: SubDomain: REJECTING r access to /home/ (httpd2-prefork(7404) profile /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork active DEFAULT_URI)

I am ready to blow it up - does anybody know what it is talking about and How can I fix it?

thank you and I do appriaciate any help on this matter

Hello Everyone

Well I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on - I check my configurations so many times i lost count -

anyway I found out my side was good - evedently the web maker hard coded something and it was flipping the 403 error. Nice of him to realize this after I spent weeks banging my head and all I got was oops sorry

Well at least I still have a job but really thanks for all your help even though it seems we wasted our time, But I will say this I did learn a lot more about Apache configurations.
