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

I've tried setting permissions on everything in the /var/www/mythweb
directory to 777. I had password authentication setup in apache. <br>
<br>
#<Directory "/var/www/mythweb"><br>
# AllowOverride None<br>
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI<br>
# AuthType Basic<br>
# AuthName "MythTV"<br>
# AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-passwords<br>
# require valid-user<br>
# Order allow,deny<br>
# Allow from all<br>
#</Directory><br>
<br>
As you can see by the hash marks, that was the first thing to go. <br>
<br>
The /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/mythweb.conf file looks like this:<br>
<br>
Alias /mythweb /var/www/mythweb<br>
<br>
<Directory /var/www/mythweb><br>
Order allow,deny<br>
Deny from all<br>
Allow from all<br>
</Directory><br>
<br>
There is no .htaccess file in /var/www/mythweb, though I did try
creating one at one point. It didn't fix the problem.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?<br>
<br>
I would deeply appreciate it.<br>
