I have configured PHPMyAdmin on an Ubuntu Server to be accessible only from 127.0.0.1.

I am then trying to access it through an SSH tunnel, but I still obtain the Forbidden error.

When using SSH on the server, I can use Lynx to go to localhost/phpmyadmin; so I know it's working at least there.

The command I've used for the tunnel is ssh -L 8080:mysite.com:80 localhost.

I was messing around with virtual hosts and now I'm getting a 403 error when trying to access files on the webroot.

Here's my httpd-vhosts.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName test.ts
    DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/vhost_test 
    <Directory /var/www/htdocs/vhost_test>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I'm pretty sure its a problem with vhosts because I commented out the line that included httpd-vhosts.conf on httpd.conf and the problem was gone. What's wrong with it?

EDIT: a day after Phil Hollenback helped me with this problem, the server began acting up again. Same problem as before, and doing what I did before didn't solve it this time. So I tried changing httpd-vhosts.conf with this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www
    <Directory />                   #added this tag
        Allow from all
    <Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now it's working.

I am creating an iOS application which allows users to send image/text data to my webserver via a POST request. I am successfully sending POSTs to the server when image data is not included in the request. Any time I POST with image data the server spits back a 403 forbidden. I have tried adding the following to the .htaccess file in the directory of the script with no luck:

Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Web browsers and Android devices can successfully POST with image data to the script, the only device which cannot is the iPhone.

POSTing with data to other hosting providers works as expected - it is just this host (ipowerweb.com).

I noticed that when I try to POST with data to any script on the server it returns a 403 forbidden. Another note: I can successfully post to another server that is hosted by ipowerweb, but mine can't seem to handle it.

My host has tried to resolve the issue but cannot, and they have marked it on their end as "resolved", so no more help from them. I wish to keep this host as moving would be a pain - I will change hosts as a last resort, so please help me!

Why am I getting this 403 forbidden error only when I submit data via my iPhone application?

How can I resolve the issue so I can successfully POST data?

Any advice on what I can do would be greatly appreciated.

edit: as request, here are the response headers:

{
    Connection = close;
    "Content-Length" = 217;
    "Content-Type" = "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
    Date = "Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:11:19 GMT";
    Server = "Apache/2";
}

edit: as request here are the request headers(oops):

{
    "Accept-Encoding" = gzip;
    "Content-Length" = 5781;
    "Content-Type" = "multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8; boundary=0xKhTmLbOuNdArY";
    "User-Agent" = "YeahIAteThat 1.0 (iPhone; iPhone OS 4.2.1; en_US)";

Well, hi everybody. I'm trying to make aliases working on Apache & Windows 7. So, this is what I have:

<IfModule alias_module>
Alias /TamasMobile/ "C:/Users/IssamTP/Documents/NetBeansProjects/TamasMobile/"
</IfModule>
<Directory "C:/Users/IssamTP/Documents/NetBeansProjects/TamasMobile/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Loading website, leads to this error:

403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /TamasMobile/ on this server.

While the Apache Error log says:

[Tue Sep 07 00:49:29 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: C:/Users/IssamTP/Documents/NetBeansProjects/TamasMobile/

Yep, I can change the working directory to: ./htdocs/TamasMobile/ or do something similar, but I'd like to know how to fix this just for personal interest.

Thank you very much folks.

Iv recently setup a SVN server on my papache webserver. I installed USVN http://www.usvn.fr/ to help manage the repositories from a web interface.

When I create a repository and try to import code into it from netbeans i get the following error: org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: RA layer request failed Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to PROPFIND request for '/svn/python1'

I know i have the username and password correct (and I have tried different users) I have done some research and it seems that it is most likely an Apache svn error. Below is the config file for this virtualhost.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName svn.domain.com
ServerAlias www.svn.domain.com
ServerAlias admin.svn.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/mrlanrat/domains/svn.domain.com/usvn/public
ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/svn.domain.com_error_log

<Directory "/home/mrlanrat/domains/svn.domain.com/usvn">
    Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location /svn/>

 AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/mrlanrat/domains/svn.domain.com/usvn/files/authz
</Location>

</VirtualHost>

Can anyone point out what I may have done wrong and how to fix it? I have tested with changing file permissions and changing the configuration with no luck.

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Here is the contents of /home/mrlanrat/domains/svn.domain.com/usvn/files/authz

Here is the access log: http://pastebin.com/RRYL1kCx and here is the error log: http://pastebin.com/vR2MJj0v

The part of interest is here:

[Wed Apr 21 12:13:25 2010] [error] [client 209.129.37.170] user  not found: /svn/test/trunk
[Wed Apr 21 12:13:25 2010] [error] [client 209.129.37.170] client denied by server configuration: /home/mrlanrat/domains/svn.domain.com/usvn/public/svn

Loging in via a web browser seems to work, however netbeans and a other svn clients all get 403 errors.
