tropical_9112 : 30/12/02 03:34 PM : Incident created -   I have the apache server working. I am trying to install an accounting program called NOLA (http://www.nola.noguska.com/gpage.html). This program has an interesting setup. It is an accounting program set on an apache server with a MYSQL as a database. Anyway I am instructed to set the apache DirectoryRoot as the NOLA root. I go into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and us the text editor to change the Directory root from /var/www/html (where it opens index.shtml) to the above referenced. (I have also done this in Webmin and in linuxconf). When I go back to the browser and type "localhost" I get a "FORBIDDEN: You do not have permission to access / on this server" then lower "Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.23 Server at 192.168.0.1 Port 80 ". I have gone to the /var/www/nola (where I have directed the apache DirectoryRoot) and made sure all permissions are open. I have entered as root ...nothing. Any ideas??? thank you
