#36597 [NEW]: Access Forbidden

From: toashwinisidhu at yahoo dot com Operating system: RedHat - 2.6.9-5.EL PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: Access Forbidden Description: ------------ I am using rpm packages that came with my Redhat Edition php-4.3.9-3.1 httpd-2.0.52-9.ent I was facing this peculiar problem, I downloaded some PHP packages (ACID & ADODB for Snort & phpMyAdmin)from the internet. when I unpacked the packages in the document root and setting appropriate permissions I was getting Access Forbidden Page -- Error 403... I was perplexed.. I have hosted many sites & I am aware how permissions work for apache. PHP was successfully installed & I could see the output for phpinfo(). BUT, if you copy (& not move) the whole package directory, after unpacking & extracting it, to a different location; the problem goes away!!!!! It is very strange but the method works. SO--after unpacking and extracting the package, you have to copy the whole directory to a new location and set the permission again. Use the new (copied) directory to host the website that you want to host...you will not get that error.. I do not know whether it is the problem of OS or Apache or PHP.. May be somebody out there could use my experience!!! Thanks a lot. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36597&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36597&r=mysqlcfg
