Linux 8.0 and Apache 1.3 Getting access denied to Cacti dir

Post by khutton »

I am building everything fresh. Installing Apache from source, using module support for php, using pre-compiled Mysql 3.23, current rrdtool and snmpget/walk from Linux 8.0. The problem I am having is I can not get access to the cacti directory under htdocs on my server. Keeps giving me access denied error. When I built my last Cacti box, I did not remember having to do anything special ut move the cacti directory under htdocs and everything went smoothly. It looks like a permissions issue but I am unsure how to set the permissions for the cacti directory. Sorry for the simple question but I just don't know.

Thanks,

Kevin

what is giving the permission denied?
If its apache then change the permissions on the cacti dir like this if you running apache as nobody which I think you probably are

chown -R nobody:nobody <path to htdocs>/cacti

if its the cron cmd then change the above user or grp to the user you running it as or rather just change the user that the cron job runs as.

That did it. Is there any security issues with this?
