Hello all,
 I am installing Hobbit for the first time in over a year..( I am still running RC5 at work in production !! ) and I am having a stupid error that I could use help on. I can't see the web interface! I get :

You don't have permission to access /hobbit/ on this server

but every directory and every file has 777 permissions on it!
    

Sounds like an apache configuration problem. Did you include the
provided hobbit-apache.conf file in your webserver configuration?

(BTW, you'd better tighten up those 777 permissions. Hackers love
those).

Hi Henrik, it's been a long time. Yes, I did include the hobbit-apache.conf piece in the httpd.conf file.  (and I only made the permissions 777 to troubleshoot this), but it makes no difference. It is running on RHEL 4.0, apache 2.0, and I can't see what else would be restricting permission to /hobbit/. Got any ideas?

Best regards

Hi,

Have you had a look at your error log ? Usually you can find a pointer there.

Hi Stephane,
   Thanks for the reply. Yes, I checked the error log but it was about as useful as screen doors on a submarine. Here is the result of every time I try to access the page:

[Wed Sep 13 03:59:24 2006] [error] [client 10.10.0.3] (13)Permission denied: access to /hobbit/ denied


I already know that my access is denied....I just want to know why. I am going through httpd.conf  one line at a time now.

any other input much appreiated
