OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
Kernel: 2.6.32-30-generic-pae
Date: Few days back :P
Its been very very long,
Anyways so I've a server in my balcony hosting my tiny website -- personal pages.
The other day while my friend wanted to grab a pdf from there and hit an error "Error 403 "Access Denied/Forbidden".
I was baffled as I could browse to the file on terminal. Apparently as it seems fix was quite easy as follow:
Instead of trying to change httpd.conf or any other conf files for apache/apache2 this one is easier :)
Considering directory structure: .../test/example.pdf and assuming you are in proper directories
chmod +r in my case chmod +r example.pdf
chmod +x in my case chmod +x test
That should fix it :)
