Question

Hi ,

I am setting up the Twiki on my Solaris Box. When I hit the URl http://10.210.7.210/twiki/ I am getting the index page But when I hit the configure page it is taking me to the Forbidden error with the mesage

You Dont have permission..

From the apache error logs i am getting the same error message.

[error] [client 10.210.66.82] (13)Permission denied: access to /twiki/bin/configure denied, referer: http://10.210.7.210/twiki/

I tried all the options in the twiki_httpd.conf file.

Any body guide me where am I lagging.

Thanks & regards Suseendran .A 91-9213540324

Answer

It is difficult to help if you already tried all options, but let me try anyway. Look for the following section in the configuration file:

# Limit access to configure to specific IP addresses and or users.
# Make sure configure is not open to the general public.
# The configure script is designed for administrators only.
# The script itself and the information it reveals can be abused by
# attackers if not properly protected against public access.
# Replace JohnDoe with the login name of the administrator
<FilesMatch "^configure.*">
   SetHandler cgi-script
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.10
   Require user JohnDoe
   Satisfy Any
</FilesMatch>

This section restricts access to configure to a limited list of IP addresses. You need to either replace 192.168.1.10 with the IP address of the machine running the browser (most probably in the 10.*.*.* net and not in 192.168.*.*), or, if your browser is running on the same machine, simply point it to localhost or 127.0.0.1 instead of 10.210.7.210.
