I installed FC 1,
and mrtg...
I created a separate
userid (mrtg) where I keep the mrtg config file, and an html directory where
mrtg puts the files it creates.
So I have
/home/mrtg/html directory with permissions 755 so everybody can read
it.
mrtg runs as a
daemon as user mrtg... and that works fine, I see the files get updated every
few minutes...
Apache serves pages
from /var/www/html
so I created a
symbolic link called mrtg --> /home/mrtg/html
The idea being that
if I go to http://localhost/mrtg then it
will show me the files.... but I get a 403 Forbidden error
Apache is configured
to "follow symlinks", and in fact I created another link in
/var/www/html:
ln -s ../mrtg mrtghelp
And when I go to http://localhost/mrtghelp I get the mrtg
doc files displayed properly... so "follow links" works
I thought it may
have been because there's no index.html file in /home/mrtg/html and things
weren't set up to allow a directory listing.... so I tried looking at a specific
file... same error; then I created the index.html file ... same
error.
What I can't figure
out is where is this 403 error coming from?
From root I also
changed permission of /home/mrtg to 755 ... nope, still get the 403
error
The documentation
for mrtg just says the files have to be in a directory "visible to apache"....
but it doesn't discuss how that's done ....
Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Don
