Personal Web Sharing - Error 403 - Forbidden

Works on all the users except mine.
I can view the Apache manual but anything in Sites does not come up - Error 403 - Forbidden...
Suggestions?

403 is a permissions error. Typically this means that Apache doesn't have permission to read the directory that contains your content.
You need to check your ~/Sites directory (as well as your home directory and all the directories in the path) to make sure they're readable by Apache.

BizTalk to Web Service - Error - The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Hi Everyone,
I am connecting to an external web service from my biztalk application through a dynamic send port.
When my biztalk application is trying to send the request message to the web service through the send port, I am getting the following error :
The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
The external web service team have provided a certificate and a private key to install in my server.
I have installed the certificate by double click the .pfx file using the private key and have added the certificate in the host ProcessHostx64.
Still i am getting the same error.
Can someone help on this issue ?
Many Thanks,
Anand

The Private Key should be installed under the user running the BizTalk Server Host. Please confirm that you have done this?
If so, try to make this work in a small .NET test Application before porting it to BizTalk, so that you can confirm that you do have sufficient credentials to call the Service.

Web Sharing Permission 403 error after 10.5.3 Update

Personal Web Sharing was working fine on my iMac under 10.5.2. Had no problems web surfing to http://mymachine.whatever.com/~username and getting anything I put in my ~/Sites directory.
A while ago I upgraded to 10.5.3. I didn't notice at the time, but apparently that upgrade broke Personal Web Sharing. Ive checked this on two machines, each running 10.5.3 and both are non-functional.
Basic facts
- Apache is running
- browsing to http://mymachine.whatever.com/ returns the normal Apache "it worked" page.
- according to the httpd.conf, mod_userdir.so is loaded by default.
- extra/httpd-userdir.conf is being included, and that has the apache
UserDir Sites
directive in it.
- permissions on my ~/Sites directory are drwxr-xr-x+
which should mean any program on the box should be able to read it.
I am a bit puzzled by the "+" on the end, which seems to indicate extended permissions, but I've so far been unable to figure out what command displays those extended permissions.
- The apache error.log is logging
Permission denied: access to /~username/
which seems to indicate a file system level access problem. But everything looks in order, permission wise to me.
- running Repair Permissions from Disk Utility had no effect
- apachectl configtest reports the config is ok, and the error.log doesn't throw any errors on startup.
Anyone have any ideas?
Jeff

I have the same problem, but the permissions on my userdir are already drwxr-xr-x+ and I still get a "You don't have permission to access /~userdir on this server" when I try to browse to http://ipaddress/~userdir although http://ipaddress works fine. Also if I put a cgi script into /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables and try to access that with http://ipaddress/CGI-Executables/mycgi.cgi I get a 404 Not Found error.

Personal Web Sharing

So I fire up ol' Personal Web Sharing, and it works fine for localhost. When I try to access it from the ip & name string I get a 403 forbidden error. I've done the "Get Info" and verified my permissions are correct. Still happens. According to Apple Tech Support, "...we can't help you fix it. There's nothing in our database about that."
I've also used the disk utility to rebuild permissions, and restarted the server via the terminal interface - both to no avail.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
BTW...I'm new to Mac, so if suggesting I investigated files such as .ini. or .conf, please include their paths. I can't seem to find the native install - apache folder.
Thanks in advance for the help.

This posting on another thread has some good suggestions that might tell us more about what's going on. The first suggestion is to check the Console for error messages, which might show what's happening when you try to bring up your website either locally or from another computer. The other thing is to check apache's configuration using a Terminal command. Read this posting for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1956252#1956252
If the problem comes down to an Apache configuration issue, I found this free app that might make configuring Apache easier than using a text editor. It's called WebControl 1.0.7 and you can download it from here:

Can't sign up for eprintcenter-I get this error ---Ajax submit failed: error = 403, Forbidden

Bought my 6700 printer yesterday. Set it all up, prints fine. Got the print out that tells me to go to the eprintcenter.com and "sign up and enter your printer code."
Every time I enter any information, I get this error code: Ajax submit failed: error = 403, Forbidden
I've tried entering my personal email, the eprint email--in short I've tried everything and can't register for an account so I can customize my printer email address, etc. Can some one help?

Tifmel,
I do apologize that you are having this issue. If you are still having this issue, I would suggest using a different web browser (i.e. internet explorer, google chrome, mozilla firefox). There are more that are available but those are just a few examples. I sure hope you can get everything worked out. Thanks again!!!!
Feel free to repost if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!

Accessing separate drive with Personal Web Sharing

Is it possible to simply use Personal Web Sharing to access an external Firewire hard drive?
I have zero experience with Apache or most server operations. I can set up pretty basic sites with Dreamweaver and/or simple HTML. So if it is possible but difficult, I may need step by step instructions.
I would really like to access this drive because it is easier to keep the large video files on it, but I would like to transfer them to my PS3 on a semi-regular basis. My PS3 has no problem accessing my sites folder (other than not showing the directory so I have to code an index file for it).
Any way I can redirect my PS3 to my external drive using the Web sharing feature? Or is it exclusive to my users drive?
Sorry to ask a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
Help is greatly appreciated to either of my problems. Accessing an external drive or figuring out why I get 403 Forbidden messages unless I code an index file.

Is this drive connected to your computer? Are you trying to access the computer remotely? If so then you need to turn on file sharing and remote access.

For those of you still having Personal Web Sharing problems

With Personal Web Sharing, Leopard doesn't seem to bring the config files for individual user accounts over from the apache1 directory to the apache2 directory which is why sometimes when you visit http://localhost/~username you get a 403 error message.
The solution is to Go To Folder, /etc, find the httpd -> users folder and copy all the files in there (should be one for each user account) into apache2 -> users and restart Personal Web Sharing.
If you're still having problems, one of the issues is with Filevault. If you have Filevault turned on, Personal Web Sharing will still probably give you an error for your user account, but the system wide web server will be fine.

Tried this but still does not work. Also from another computer I cannot access the user web share or the default one (locally I can access the default) without getting a 403. It just searches and searches. It recognises that there is a system there but not able to read anything. My firewall is off by the was so is Filevault.
Thanks

Server Error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Hi,
I`d like to get your advice on Server Error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. I use to visit a webpage with no issues so far but now i getting this error each time i`m trying to get into. Any ideas in how to solve it? A step to step process will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
PS, I`m using the latest safari 8.0.3 and OS X 10.10.2.

It's an error message from the web server, not from Safari. There's a slight chance that you might be able to clear it as follows.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Test.

I tried to access my website, but Firefox threw the error: 403 Forbidden, you don't have the permissions to view.

My website - Mousenstein.com - is under construction w/Dreamweaver + Flash.
I uploaded my files to my server.
I opened Firefox and entered the URL:
http://www.mousenstein.com
The error "403 Forbidden" appeared, and ...
You do not have the permissions to access.
I have tried to upload my site countless times, but never successfully - it is a huge headache. That said, I have never gotten the "403 Forbidden - no permissions" before.
All other failures threw the error "404, can not locate the URL "/" on this server.
Any help will be enormously appreciated.
P.S. : Are there permissions preferences on Firefox? I found one under Tools Menu, but it didn't seem to address my problem.
Thanks

I get the same thing with Firefox, IE8, Opera, and Safari. It isn't a Firefox only problem.
Are you new to that webhosting service? <br /> Have you ever uploaded web pages to that same web hosting service previously, pages that worked after an upload? <br /> Are those pages listed as ''' "public" ''' pages in your web hosts control panel?
My suggestion is to "download" your homepage and associated files & images from your PC, up to the server, using your web hosts control panel and see how that works.
Beyond that, I suspect that you might have missed an important setting in Dreanweaver for uploading to the web host's server. You might try asking about this issue at a Dreamweaver support forum.

Getting "Error 403--Forbidden" while accessing ADF bookmarked URL

Hi,
Here am trying to work with an ADF application to suport bookmarking.
Following are the steps I did to create a sample application.
Created a bounded task-flow (user-details.xml), which has the "Method call" as default activity along with an another view activity(userData.jsff page).
This task-flow takes an input parameter "Id" to display user details. In the method call activity user data will be initialized using the given input parameter and then the data will be displayed using userData.jsff page.
Created a view activity (details.jspx page) in adfc-config.xml file.
Marked the "details.jspx" file as bookmark-able by changing "Bookmark property to true" and given a Bookmark URL Parameter "Name is Id and Value is #{pageFlowScope.user_id}".
Dropped the bounded task-flow user-details.xml as a region into the details.jspx file.
Now the user_id which is coming as URL Parameter will be passed to user-details.xml task-flows input parameter value.
Created users.jspx page which lists all the users as home page. In the users.jspx page we'll have a link to user details page with a parameter Id.
By running the application will get users page. When I click on the user details link in the users page, the app showing user details page as expected.
Now I bookmarked the user details page. If I open the bookmarked page in the same tab, it is working fine. But when I open this bookmark in a new tab getting the "Error 403--Forbidden" response.
Bookmarked URL: localhost:7101/BookmarkTestApp-ViewController-context-root/faces/user_details?id=123&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrLoop=4884151149818&_adf.ctrl-state=35yghmx4f_18
When I click the above bookmark in another tab the url is processing for few seconds ( 2 to 3 seconds) and converts to localhost:7101/BookmarkTestApp-ViewController-context-root/ and giving 403 response. At this time it is not touching my beans at all (verified this by running the server in debug mode).
Web.xml looks like:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Error 403-forbidden from IE5 while authenticating a user through NT Realm

Hi,
Before posting this request, I checked the forum until Sep.18 to see if nobody
else experienced my problem, but in vain.
I am using WLS6.1Sp1 under NT4
I would like that NT users for defined NT Primary Domain Controller authenticate
themselves before accessing a web app. For that, I followed thoroughly the BEA
Doc to get the config.xml, web.xml, weblogic.xml and filerealm.properties correctly
configured.
The <auth-method> is set to FORM. The <security-role> and <security-role-assignment>
are also set with business roles and principals from the NT PDC. the <security-constraint>
with all the sub-tags are also defined. etc.etc. When I use the WL console, to
check users and groups lists, it works fine although it takes a lot of time before
being displayed (15 to 20 minutes !!!).
Through a Login.jsp, the user enters his/her login name and password. The result
is that I get the following message :
"Error 403--Forbidden
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.4 403 Forbidden
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization
will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was
not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled,
it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code
is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request
has been refused, or when no other response is applicable."
No trace in the log files. No warning . Nothing.
My questions are:
1- Has somebody already experienced this?
2- Could you then help me ?
By advance , thank you very much.

Note : I can provide you through email the config.xml, web.xml, weblogic.xml and
filerealm.properties and the concerned .jsp files on demand

Hi Jerry,
Many thanks for your interest and your help.
weblogic.properties file for WLS 6.1 SP1? There is none... I do have a filerealm.properties. I didn't state that I was using a weblogic.properties
file.
I checked the URL you proposed. I changed the <Auth-method> from FORM into BASIC.
A pop-up window is displayed requesting the user to enter username and password.
The result is that I get a web page displaying an Error 404 --not found.
Here is the complete error message :"Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given
of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.If the server does not wish
to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden)
can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows,
through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently
unavailable and has no forwarding address."
The message is displayed when the browser tries to resolve the following URL :http://localhost:7001/examplesWebApp/j_security_check
Having said that, I had already configured the <security-role-assignement> with
role-name and principals in weblogic.xml, as well as the <security-role> tag in
web.xml.
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Hi Athmani,
weblogic.properties file for WLS 6.1 SP1? There is none... weblogic.properties
is in WebLogic
5.1 and lower -- it was changed to config.xml for WLS 6.0 .. what are
you using your
weblogic.properties file for?
Anyways,
I have gotten NTRealms to successfully work with WLS 6.1, with security
on a web app, allowing
NT users to access certain resources. This stuff works.
Since you can see your users and groups through the console (even though
it takes a while) I
think that your NTRealm setup is okay.
I would guess that you have a problem with your deployment descriptors
in your web
application.
There are quite a few posts in this newsgroup that illustrate how to
set up security
constraints on resources in your web app with the deployment descriptors.
For example, check out
http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.security&item=6244&utag=
Let me know how it goes, okay?
Cheers,

Eprint login error: Ajax submit failed: error = 403, Forbidden.

Why do I keep getting this error when trying to log in to eprint website to manage my printer: Ajax submit failed: error = 403, Forbidden.

Hi,
Please perfer the following the check.
1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

Example Basicresponse: HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

Hi,
i installed the developer edition of ocms.
The eclipse plugin works fine.
I was able to deploy the "thirdpartycallcontrol" and to access it via http://localhost:8888/tpcc.
BUT
the basicresponse example does not work. I can deploy it but on
http://localhost:8888/basicresponse
i get HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
Is this not accessible via webfrontend?
How can i see if this is working? In the documentation the use case is missing....

Hi HEWizard,
Basicresponse is a SIP only application, hence it's not available via a web front end. It can be accessed via a test SIP testing tool such as sipp: http://sipp.sourceforge.net/
Hope this helps,

Error 403--Forbidden - From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.

Hi, I have a problem with WebLogic Server: 10.3.5.0.
I need to set that anyone who sees my enterprise application can view the website but not how. I always displays an error.
The error is:
Error 403--Forbidden

Can you help me?

When I'm working with web servers, and I've not worked with weblogic for quite a while, it has always been rights that have been the gotcha for the 403 error. You need to make sure that if you want everyone to be able to brouse the given folder, you need public read and execute rights on the contents.
