Apache needs read+execute access on all directories up to and including the Tomcat directory for the user the Apache runs under (which I believe is 'apache' for the default RedHat install, but I don't really use RedHat myself).

I have a problem with Apache 1.3.12 and Tomcat 4.1.12 on a Linux RedHat 7.0. I tried both mod_jk and mod_webapp to let Tomcat and Apache talk together, now I am using mod_jk but I experienced this problem with both connectors. The problem is this: if I give an Alias directive to Apache, for a directory that is a Tomcat application, I get always an Error 403 - Forbidden from Apache. If I do not give the alias directive, every file is served by Tomcat and everything works, but Tomcat does not serve files that reside on a directory that is a symlink (not on my installation, perhaps thare is some directive to give to Tomcat). I tried the JkAutoAlias, I tried to make an alias for the directory that is a symlink, but nothing worked. Here are my httpd.conf and mod_jk.conf files: ********* START httpd.conf ********** .... .... <IfDefine HAVE_JK> LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so AddModule mod_jk.c Include /var/tomcat4/conf/mod_jk.conf </IfDefine> ********* END httpd.conf ********** ********* START mod_jk.conf ********** ################################################################### # The following line instructs Apache to load the jk module # #LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.dll ################################################################### JkWorkersFile /var/tomcat4/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile /var/tomcat4/logs/mod_jk.log ################################################################### # Log level to be used by mod_jk # #JkLogLevel Information JkLogLevel error ################################################################### # context mounts for Tomcat # #JkAutoAlias /var/tomcat4/webapps #JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 #JkMount /* ajp13 JkMount /mytest/* ajp13 JkMount /mytest/*.jsp ajp13 Alias /bignami "/var/tomcat4/webapps/mytest" <Directory "/var/tomcat4/webapps/mytest"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory> <Location "/mytest"> allow from all </Location> <Location "/mytest/Connections/"> deny from all </Location> ********* END mod_jk.conf ********** Thanks, Marco. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
