I plan to allow access to the 403.html as an exception. Bugzilla already has that in .htaccess for some files. > However, you should be able to implement this in .htaccess, without > needing a main Apache conf file change? ErrorDocument requires 'AllowOverride FileInfo' and bugzilla.gnome.org does not have that (I tried it first on bugzilla-test and found out the cause after it didn't work). > Good luck with the upgrade btw; I'm glad it's not me this time, and > under much happier circumstances than the last upgrade :-) I sort-of remember that the switch was due to the servers being hacked. Searched a bit for more background on this, but can't seem to find it. Care to provide a pointer for more background info? -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ Gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
