403 Forbidden on external access

[Sampler]

Hi

 

I've been running uniform server at home for a few years now and love it, so when it came to setting up a wiki at work I thought i'd use it but seem to have trouble accessing the server!

 

At my machine using localhost (or 127.0.0.1) there's no problem but if i try to use my machines network ID or IP I get 403 errors on all my pages - this is both at my machine or from another terminal (valid on the domain though).

 

There's no firewalls between the machines and have tried both XP and 2k boxes. Even tried activating windows firewall and ok'ing apache, mysql etc.. through it but no joy.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi ,

I had the same issue. You need to make some changes to unlock the servers as on instal they are set up for localhost only. To put the servers online checkout Mike Gleaves pages at the unicenter on putting the srvers online.

Hi Fido

 

You mean from this page:

http://center.uniformserver.com/uniserver/..._it_online.html

 

This is just security details - as it will still be locked within our department there's no need to enable the remtoe access to apanel or really require passwording everything.

 

Cheers

Hi - yes when you first install US it only allows localhost through. To change this or make US public do this.

 

Go into the www folder, open .htaccess file with Wordpad and comment these lines...

 

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from 127.0.0.1

 

To comment put a hash -> # infront of the lines like so:

 

#Order Deny,Allow

#Deny from all

#Allow from 127.0.0.1

 

 

That should work..

Thankyou - had not noticed that in the linked paged and don't recall doing that on my earlier version - guess that's progress - cheers chaps.

 

Can no longer edit the first post - can a mod please flag this as resolved.
