[mythtv-users] Mythweb is borked

[Mark Adams]

My deepest apologies.  This message was initially sent under the 
incorrect subject "Webmin is borked".  My issue has exactly nothing to 
do with webmin, but I'm really tired and frustrated here.  Again, I do 
apologize.  I am reposting under the actual subject.

Okay, I was trying to get mythweb setup on my primary server (all of the 
machines in question here are Mandriva 2010.0, installed from rpm) so 
that I could access it from work. It was working just fine from my htpc. 
I installed and setup MythTV on my server and attempted to get the new 
installation to connect to the database on the httpd.  I couldn't get it 
to work, but I did manage to get Mythweb on the htpc to stop responding. 
I'm getting  error 403:

Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either 
read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster 
<mailto:root at shuttle>.

Apache/2.2.14 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-1.5mdv2010.0)
I've tried setting permissions on everything in the /var/www/mythweb 
directory to 777.   I had password authentication setup in apache.

#<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
#    AllowOverride None
#    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
#    AuthType Basic
#    AuthName "MythTV"
#    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-passwords
#    require valid-user
#    Order allow,deny
#    Allow from all
#</Directory>

As you can see by the hash marks, that was the first thing to go.

The /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/mythweb.conf file looks like this:

Alias /mythweb /var/www/mythweb

<Directory /var/www/mythweb>
     Order allow,deny
     Deny from all
     Allow from all
</Directory>

There is no .htaccess file in /var/www/mythweb, though I did try 
creating one at one point.  It didn't fix the problem.

I've been restarting httpd after every change and clearing browser cache 
fairly regularly.  I've rebooted the machine a couple of times.  
Everything else on the web server works just fine. For example, I can 
access phpmyadmin and dokuwiki just fine.  At one point, I even 
uninstalled mythweb and the myth backend and then reinstalled them.  
Nothing is helping.  What is it I don't know about this stuff?  What am 
I missing?

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?

I would deeply appreciate it.

Mark
