[nylug-talk] Apache problem

[Fitzsimmons, Donald C.]

I'm running Apache/2.2.6 and I'm getting this error in
/etc/httpd/logs/error_log.
[Thu Feb 14 09:24:14 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] client denied by
server configuration: /var/www/html/usage/, referer:
http://machinename:100/

I can't get to http://machinename:100/usage I get that error and a
forbidden message saying I don't have access to /usage/ in the browser.

I did a search on google and nylug and found that other people with a
similar issue added this:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

I added it however for me it still didn't work. What's really strange is
I have no issue hitting /var/www/html or /var/www/html/squint but I do
have an issue with /var/www/html/usage. I also checked the permissions
of the usage folder and it's contents. They match /var/www/html/squint.
As well as the owner and group.

Here is what I have in my httpd.conf file that differs from the default.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Httpd is run using login and
group apache. Oh and the really funny  thing is that I have an identical
machine built the day before with the identical httpd.conf file and it
works perfectly. I have no virtual hosts.

Listen x.x.x.x:100

I have no problems authenticating using the passwords file and I don't
use .htaccess
