SID-00132: You don't have permission to access /twiki/bin/configure on

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.4	Perl version:	5.8.9
Category:		Server OS:	CentOS 5.2	Last update:	17 years ago

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /twiki/bin/configure on this server.

Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at qlwb06v Port 80

this above is the error message i got when entering the Twiki Configure page.

Method i did to try to solve the issue - check through the access rights. Make it to default - re-install the whole program. - google search for solution

But the error is still there. Below are the error messages.

#cat /var/log/httpd/error_log [error] [cilent "IP add"] client fenied by server configuration: /var/www/twiki/bin/configure, referer:// http://qlwbv/twiki

Please advice!! Thanks in advance

Discussion and Answer

In apache configuration files (in /etc/apache2 or in twiki directory is you included the default twiki_httpd_conf.txt) look for the section and edit as needed. You have to change the ip with the ip of your workstation and John Doe with your wiki name. Then restart apache. Maybe it is better to comment the Require user line first and later on configure the allowed users.

<FilesMatch "^configure.*">
   SetHandler cgi-script
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1 
   Require user JohnDoe
   Satisfy Any
</FilesMatch>
