Chris is setting up a Redhat server, and asked me for help getting file
permissions set for FTP stuff yesterday. We lucked out.

and yes, I managed to get another machine loaded w/ SuSE 8.0, full
office suites + server. It was left with the Gimp running in a user
called "guest".

Today I am asking for expertise, (and also thinking he might find room
for us this Friday night if the regular home isn't yet clear.:-)

Chris is just now signing up on the AKLUG list, so I get to post this
for him. Reply to him as well as AKLUG in case he isn't approved yet.
That phone number is right here in Anchorage, so give him a acall if you
like.

Thanks.

=========== BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL =======================

I'm trying to set up virtual web's..
 
I've already listed the webs and pointed the webs via red hat's apache
tool
Only now that I've pointed these virtual webs to /var/www/blankweb
 
I try and type in these virtual web names and get a
 
Forbidden 404
you don't have permissions to access / on this server
 
I've checked the chown and the chmod other is set to read for these
directories..
 
If I try and pull up my httpd.conf i get a blank screen. if i'm in gnome
startx view.
Is there a special way to access this file?
Also how do I set the folders for web-guest or blank to be able to view
the files in these directories. ?
 
Is there a place on the net I can go for full info on how to set up
another webdirectory on apache?
 
This I'm sure is an easy one for those of you that use Apache.
Please Help X IIS user..
