Way, Way, O/T: Any Apache Guru's?

[plotloss]

I know this is way way way off topic but PH is the source of all answers and this is now starting to drive me mad.

When it comes to web type things I admit that I am a bit of a numpty and am in need of some help...

I am trying to test some SOAP calls through an Apache Webserver (V2.0). I have created an Alias and pointed it at the directory in which the functions reside.

If I then type that alias into the webbrowser as http://localhost/distributor I get a 403 Not Authorised error. No matter what I seem to do with directory authorites I cant seem to get it to show me the directory listing.

Any ideas?

Matt.

Depending upon the Alias setup, you might need to try http://localhost/distributor/ (trailing slash).

It could be that the error is being generated by the underlying O/S, in which case check that the user that Apache is running as has authority to the SOAP parser (although it might be built into Apache v2.0 - use 1.3.xx myself).

Check the apache access and error logs, they usually have far more usefull information in it than that displayed oin the browser . . . should help you determine whether it's apache or the o/s that's causing the problem, and why.
