Hi -

 
 I've just upgraded to 4.2.0 and am having trouble getting the URL to
come up.  I'm getting "Forbidden, you don't have permission to access
/hobbit/bb.html on this server".  I looked in the forum and found a
previous posting that referenced adding umask 022 to the startup script,
I added this to hobbit.sh, modified the permissions for the bb*.html
files and retarted and am still having the issue.  I think it's because
of the permissions on the bb*.html files in the www directory - I have
another hobbit server running that has these as 664, but whenever I
restart hobbit on my new install it changes back to 644.  Any
suggestions? 

 
Thanks in advance.

Check the apache error log.   Could be a selinux issue if that's set to enforcing.

 Thanks for your reply Stewart.  I don't have selinux enforced, I had
checked that.  I did change permissions on /hobbit to 777 and was able to
then access the URL.  I just need to figure out exactly where the
permissions needed to be changed so that it isn't wide open.

make sure the hobbit users home directory has world executable permission.
Apache service has to be able to open that directory to get to the <hobbit
user home>/server/www directory to serve the http alias /hobbit.

That's probably the permissions I overlooked in the beginning - thanks!
