Access forbidden

[tristanlee85]

I set up a virtual host. The DocumentRoot is set to

Code: Select all

C:\xampp\xampp\upload

.

In the upload directory, there are different folders for peoples' username. I want the user to be able to access their site by

Code: Select all

http://[my ip address]/[their username]

. Whenever I try that, I get an "Access Forbidden" error.

Here are 2 different parts of my httpd.conf file:

Code: Select all

<Location C:/xampp/xampp/upload/>
    SetHandler upload
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Location>

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin tristanlee1985@charter.net
    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/xampp/upload/
    ServerName 65.186.187.193:80
    ErrorLog logs/65.186.187.193-error_log
    CustomLog logs/65.186.187.193-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Why am I getting a forbidden error?

Lets say that you have the names bob and jon and you want them to use you ipaddress/therename
1. create user folders in C:\xampp\xampp\upload
example:
C:\xampp\xampp\upload\bob
C:\xampp\xampp\upload\jon

- use the following code

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/xampp/upload
    ServerName 65.186.187.193
</VirtualHost>


this is what you would type in.
http://65.186.187.193 - yoursite
http://65.186.187.193/bob - bob's site
http://65.186.187.193/jon - jon's site

by the way you can use www.dyndns.org to get a domain name to use instead of an ip address and its free.

and change back

Code: Select all

<Location C:/xampp/xampp/upload/>
    SetHandler upload
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Location>


First <Location should look like:

Code: Select all

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
</Location>


Second <Location should look like

Code: Select all

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
</Location>
