Re: AS/400 HTTP access denied

Do you have a PASS statement in your HTTP config file that will allow this
file to be served? Without the appropriate PASS directives (unless you have
WebSphere App Server 3.n doing file serving for you) you won't be able to
get anything served.

Here's an example:

PASS /sample/*  /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/HTTPSVR/HTML/*

The /sample/* bit is what the user enters or links to in the browser (URI).
The /QIBM/... bit is where you put the files.

So if in your case you are happy that they use a 'root' URI, you would have

PASS /* <directory>/*

where <directory> is the full IFS path of the location of the actual HTML
files.

You can put the PASS statement in via WRKHTTPCFG or the Admin browser app
(port 2001). In the latter case the Request Routing panel is the one you
want.

Another possibility is that, if you should be trying to do '?Open' or
similar, to get a directory listing, you don't have the appropriate HTTP
config statement(s) to allow directory listing - can't remember the details
- sorry.

Hope this helps (you probably have all this set up correctly already, in
which case apologies).

Happy New Year!

Subject:  AS/400 HTTP access denied




Hi folks,

I have started HTTP server and placed a html file into
the root directory. Then I started Explorer and tried
to display the html file. I get an error HTTP 403 -
Access denied: you do not have the proper
authorization to display the directory.

Any idea ?
