I have setup many alias direcotires to access things like invoices and articles from any machine on my intranet. It worked fine for over a year until I ran a bunch of updates and rebooted my FC6 server.
Now when I click an alias in my browser from any machine, including my server, I get this message: "You don't have permission to access /Comp/ on this server." (Comp is one of the directory aliases for apache).
Here aare a couple of excerpt from my httpd.conf file for that directory:
Alias /Comp "/mnt/Shared/Components"
<Directory "/mnt/Shared/Components">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
Allow from 192.168
</Directory>
I recursively changed the permissions (temporarily) for the whole directory tree on my shared volume to 777 (and later changed them back). I restarted Apache, and the "anybody" permissions had no effect.
I can still access these directories from Samba, so it's not killing me, just not as convenient as I intended.
What steps should I take to troubleshoot this?
Many thanks,
Bill
