Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.0 (Linux/SUSE) Server at 192.168.1.14 Port 80

OK, maybe I come home from work too fried to see the answer to this.. Is there an easy button I can push?

Check /var/log/apache2/error.log for more info.

Also F5 (or CTRL+F5) to see if it's asking for any user/pass, and whether that's from Zoneminder's security, or a .htaccess or rule in apache's config.

Did you check permissions on your web directory and your ZM directory ?

Verify that your apache user ist the owner/group of your web directories and has read/write permissions

Also, make sure you do actually have php installed.

I have PHP installed. I am looking through permissions, uh how do I check to see if the apache user is the owner/group of my web directories?
I have some directores owned by root-root and some owned by wwwrun-root. A little guidance is needed here because I will certainly F this up
:)

The command
ls -l
should give you directory listing with the owners

chown -R <user>:<group> FILE/DIRECTORY
use -R for recursive
This command changes owner and group of a file or directory

chgrp -R <group> FILE/DIRECTORY

just changes the group

chmod changes the read/write/execute permissions

I am still wrestling with this. Here is the error recorded in /var/log/apache2/error_log

[Wed Oct 11 18:34:23 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.16] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /srv/www/htdocs/index.php, referer: http://192.168.1.16/

I can see this file through conquerer so I know it exists. Anyone have an idea?

You may need to change your directives in your httpd.conf (apache config file) to allow symlinks to be used.

ie.

<Directory /usr/local/httpd/htdocs>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

See apaches page at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/co ... #directory for more info.

I was able to fix this tonight by deleting the index.php and creating a new link:
ln zm.php index.php

now I can see my cams on my network. Next will be to see them on the oter side of my NAT.

Mapped port 80 to my Zm server address (through linksys AP router) and was able to see my cams through the firewall at work.

good glad your sorted mate

How do you password this out to keep the gremlins off? (web access)

turn on auth in options

Thanks!
But I RTFM after I made the last post, a little bass ackwards way to do things but it works fine.
