FRESH FC5 INSTALL APACHE PROBLEM.locahost not permitted

[hermatize]

fresh install and i get

denied access error....is there another confi file other then httpd.conf that i need to edit.

i a have selinux installed

[hermatize]

i should have added when i try to login VIA the localhost at

http://localhost/cacti

[ptera]

I just went through that - it was allow.deny directive - I think it was for the cacti directory - mine said deny all.

[hermatize]

any idea what file?

[ptera]

httpd.conf - I use webmin so I get to it differently

[hermatize]

na didnt do the trick i recall a while back on a fresh install of FC4 there was some conf file that needed to be allowed and by default it actually blocked the localhost.......anyone know what im talkin about

I just had this problem. This solution is based on using the Fedora core 5 cacti RPM. If you don't have it, then this may not work for you.

I edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf, and added the line:

allow from ::1

inbetween the lines:

deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1

giving:

deny from all
allow from ::1
allow from 127.0.0.1

saving the changes, and then doing '/etc/init.d/httpd reload'

and it worked.

The reason it is denying you, is it using IPV6, and this is the IPV6 localhost address.

You'll see the deny message in /var/log/httpd/error_log.
