Topic: Client denied by server configuration Apache httpd 2.4

[BigChill]

Hello,

We use Apache to frontend a database application we have that uses the Progress Webspeed tools.

This is our first time working with version 2.4

We have a folder with a bunch images that we display on various pages of our app. We set up an alias called webmessaging to this folder.

When a user displays a page that accesses some of these images from this folder they do NOT display.

In the Apache error log I see an error:

AH01630: client denied by server configuration:

D:/APPLICD/Hci/webmessaging/web/blank.html, referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgiip.exe/WService=webmessaging/webmessaging.html

A similar error occurs for each of our images:

AH01630: client denied by server configuration: D:/APPLICD/Hci/webmessaging/web/Images/tb-bar.gif, referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgiip.exe/WService=webmessaging/websessioncontext.w?BrowserType=NS5

I believe that something in my Apache httpd.conf file is wrong.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I found the answer by reading the documentation. Turns out that the commands to allow access to a resource are very different. Here is a link to the documentation:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html

I changed the following in the httpd.conf file:

In this example, all requests are allowed.
2.2 configuration:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

2.4 configuration:

Require all granted


This last little tidbit saved me.

Be well, everyone.
