Do you have the default file in the directory (this misleading message is quite common in that case)I want /usr/portage/distfiles to appear as /distfiles/ on my web server (apache2)
I have tried:
1. making a symlink /var/www/lcalhost/htdocs/distfiles to point to /usr/portage/distfiles
2. adding
Alias /distfiles /usr/portage/distfiles
to my apache config and restarting apache (after deleting the symlink)
Both result in 403 "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /distfiles/ on this server." errors.
where to from here?
Does the user id that Apache is running as have rights to the directory
You can set the root of apache to /usr/portage/ which may still give the message.
