[users@httpd] Getting more log info
Hi,
I am trying to setup a 'Trac' environment on my web server. I think I
configured apache correctly but for some reason I get a permission
denied. The log files just say:
[Thu Jul 06 17:03:08 2006] [error] [client 43.221.60.239] client denied
by server
configuration: /www-ssl/server/python-2.4.3/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
Is there any way to get apache to log *why* it thinks the client should
be denied access?
(using apache 2.2.0)
Nico

That did the trick. I copied the config from another server on which it
was running fine, however the location did not have any Allow or Deny
statements at all.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, no. I remember seeing a patch that could spit out
config file line numbers with this type of message, but I don't think
it got comitted.
The good news is that it usually isn't too difficult to find the
problem. This message almost always means that an Order/Deny/Allow
sequence is denying access. So start by checking all those directives
in httpd.conf and .htaccess. In particular, since the 2.2 default is
to deny all access, you'll need to open up that directory using
something like
<Directory /www-ssl/server/python-2.4.3/share/trac/cgi-bin/>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
