Re: 403 Forbidden errors on anything in subfolders

Kelly,

(3401) Permission Denied

It means that the userid does not have authority ("permission") to the IFS file.   It later expounds on that saying "Permissions on file /www/mywebserver/htdocs/css/style.css deny server access".

Why is that not helpful? It tells you exactly what the problem is and which file the problem was encountered on.

I found the log file. It was not very helpful. The relevant error message in the log file was:

[Sat Mar 16 18:11:27.293184 2019] [core:error] [pid 99999:tid 99999999] (3401)Permission denied.: [client 99.9.9.999:99999] ZSRV_MSG0019: Permissions on file /www/mywebserver/htdocs/css/style.css deny server access, referer: http://MYWEBSERVER:99999/

I changed some numbers in the error message above to all 9’s for purposes of posting to this list.

Since this was a new web server, with no one else using it yet, I decided to start from scratch. Using the HTTPAdmin page:

1. I deleted the HTTP Server instance that was giving me problems.
2. I created a new HTTP Server instance with a different name and located at /www/MyNewWebServer/.
3. I used the Integrated File System tool in IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) to create all new directories within /www/MyNewWebServer/.
4. I used the Integrated File System tool in IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) to upload all new files within /www/MyNewWebServer/.

Everything seems to be working.

Thanks,
