i did try to change the default in httpd.conf to be unrestrictive, but it didn't work
Changing the default should do the trick for you, so you don't have to edit any vhost containers.
What did you do to the default setting that didn't work?
Using the links to the Apache docs should give you the correct way but it may be just entering the
Order I gave above may do the trick.
Then remove the corresponding entries in the vhosts file - remember that entries in the vhosts file override the httpd.conf entries.
I was compiling this reply after you made some edits so here is what I think you should have:
- Code: Select all
<Directory /home/tdlwebhosting/public_html>
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /home/tdlwebhosting/cgi-bin>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Try this and case is important.
With this or any other Virtual Host directive in the conf file, the server blocks ALL access attempts to anything.
Yes, any errors in the conf files will give Apache a migraine
You should try the command
apache -S and debug your vhost containers.
