"You don't have permission to access"

I am having problems with Web Sharing on my primary user account.
In the Setting>Sharing>Web Sharing panel it shows my computer address and the address for my personal website.
When I click on the computer's address, I get a page that says "It Works!" but when I click the personal website address, I get "You don't have permission to access..."
I created a test account and everything works fine there. I repaired permissions and ran the 10.6.4 combo update again and neither helped.
Any suggestions on what else to look at? I'm baffled.

Now try doing a chmod -vv 755 Sites. See whether that fixes you.
This did not fix the problem
If doing that chmod doesn't fix it, do a ls -dle@ Sites since that folder is showing some additional extended attributes, so I can see what they are.

I presume your "Graphics" folder that is in your "Sites" folder is something that you put in there?
Yes, some time ago, don't remember why and I'm not using the contents so I will probably delete it.
If you do those things, then hopefully that will fix you up. If you are still having problems, just like you first did, do a
ls -Rle@ Sites > Desktop/modperms.txt 
so you can easily show other helpers here what I've done to you
Done
PS - in your test account that you created, since it works, the files' and folders' permissions there are exactly like what your files' and folders' permissions in your account should look like. So if you were to do a
ls -Rle@ ../testAcctShortUserName/Sites 
and a
ls -Rle@ Sites 
that will give you a recursive listing, showing permissions, owner/group, access control lists, and extended attributes, of both Sites' folders for you to compare.

(Note: I removed the results for the Graphics folder since I plan to delete it)
It seems that the critical folders have the same permissions. Where else should I look?

  • Trying to reload firefox and getting this message, when moving to the applications folder: "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."

    Been having problems with Firefox/internet for several days, and all my updates seemed current. I decided to try to reload and have removed the other icons/download attempts from the app file. When I try to drag the icon into apps, I now get this message:
    The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • Can't move any files... "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."

    This is a strange one... I just recently did a complete format/reinstall of Lion because of very poor performance after upgrading.
    So I'm on a totally fresh system, no TimeMachine restore or anything. I've installed all my apps from scratch - no prefrence file backups or anything. Everything is fresh.
    Yesterday I tried to copy a file from one folder to another and I got the error "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items". Checked file permissions... repaired disk permissions... made sure I was logged in as admin (I only have one account)... everything looks good.
    This is now happening when trying to copy any files anywhere on my machine... Very frustrating.
    There's a couple strange side-effects I've noticed:
    - I can move & copy files just fine in terminal... without sudo...
    - The little lock icon in the bottom right of the Get Info window doesn't do anything - I can't unlock it. I can still edit the permissions for the file/folder but I can't select the "apply to enclosed items..." option.
    Does anybody know what the heck is going on?

    Try creating a new admin user account, logging into it, and then creating some new items on the Desktop and elsewhere. Does the same thing happen there?
    Ok the strangeness continues!
    I created a new "TestAdmin" account, but it doesn't show up in the Users & Groups prefrences sidebar... The /Users/testadmin folder was created, but the account doesn't show up in the prefrences or login window...
    I tried a reboot to see if the account would show up and it still doesnt.... However after the reboot I am now able to copy files again!
    I'm paranoid that the problem will show up again since I have no idea what fixed it. I tried rebooting previously after repairing permissions which didn't solve the issue so it's not like I haven't rebooted since it started.
    And now I have the issue of not being able to create user accounts.
    A little dissapointed with Lion to be honest... the new features are cool but there are so many little bugs it really feels half-baked.

  • Can't save multiple folders to external drive. Get: "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." when dragging large folders to mac os extended journalled external drive from OS 10.6.8

    Hi
    I am feeling  VERY desperate!
    After losing an external drive [dont ask....]  -   I got  another one :  2TB WD formatted properly [ OS extended journalled for mac ] ready for action to move  my thousands of files and images and ppts in hundreds of folders across from the laptop to this drive because I travel a bit with the laptop and this is too risky not to back up at home.
    But this message came up after starting on moving folders across [** and not straight away, sometimes after moving  a folder  when  4 of 6 gb of files across  then the message comes up  = very frustrating]:
    "The operation can’t be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."
    I am  dragging mixed sometimes large complex folders to this  os extended journalled external drive from my mac book pro OS 10.6.8  - it would take decades to move items one by one or even folder by folder and really confusing. 
    I have  dragged-copied  various small folders and files across successfully, but it is only working 50:50 and I can't leave machine with the idea of things copying eg: overnight - it just won't work....
    I have been browsing google and find some people describing in CODE how they overcome this 'message'   .... but  I  [and I guess some other viewers of this in future & also in desperation]  would need  instructions for beginners....  to try this type of thing.  I don't know any code.
    How can this be happening - I feel ANGRY at APPLE !!!!  for not posting easy fix instructions yet re; this, or better still  updating software so it doesn't happen [ that I can find at least  !!! ] .   There seem to be hundreds of people stuck with this stupid message and inability to back up their projects etc.
    Can anyone help ?
    Many thanks

    hi Samberl
    thanks a lot for the fast reply.
    I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop  onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
    Your suggestion sounds very promising -  I didn't know about 'cloning'.
    Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
    Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb  ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written  : 
    " 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free  " 
    I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
    I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
    When CCC site says it backs up  the hard drive - would this  mean all my files  [over 100 gb] that are mostly  in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon,  would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ]  ?
    thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it. 
    It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

  • I get this error code when trying to update from an older version of Firefox: The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.

    While trying to upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I get this error code: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
    == installing ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.

  • I keep getting the error message "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."

    When I try and move an application to my application folder from the installer and when I try to empty the trash, I get the error message, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."  This has only been an issue since I upgraded to Lion.  I'm using a July '07 white Macbook 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo.  In my trash I only have an older version of a software that I updated (Divy).  The software I'm trying to install is Angry Birds Rio.

    Always use the same websites you are having problems with so you can monitor the changes.
    Try the reset for Safari:
    And for Firefox:

    Try logging in to the guest account as well to see if you have the same problems there, it might be a logging in issue.

  • Forbidden  You don't have permission to access / virtualhostname / filename .html on this server.

    Hello Everyone
    I've just configured Apache on my Newly upgraded Mountain Lion on Macbook Pro 13.
    Steps i followed to activate apache, php and mysql on my macbook pro is as follows:
    http://coolestguyplanettech.com/downtown/install-and-configure-apache-mysql-php- and-phpmyadmin-osx-108-mountain-lion
    I've configured the Sites folder and tested the http://localhost and find it working.
    I created one file to test php configurations and found that they are also working perfectly.
    Now i m creating a virtualhost with the name "rishtey.local" in  /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf as below:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/Users/YogeshMunjal/Sites/Matrimonial/"
        ServerName rishtey.local
    </VirtualHost>
    But whenever i try to access the virutal directory as: http://localhost/rishtey.local
    it gives me following error:
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /Rishtey.local/default_1.html on this server.
    No matter if i am accessing php file or html file, error is same.
    directory permissions are as below:
    drwxrwxrwx@ 156 YogeshMunjal  staff  5304 Dec 14 02:51 Matrimonial
    have created httpd.conf file as well in the same directory as:
    <Directory />
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow, deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Still nothing is working at all. please suggest the possible solution with it.
    Thanks in advance for trying...

    oh yes.. you are right... its accessible in
    http:://rishtey.local/default_1.html
    successfully... thanks for that... first of all
    now issue is: when i access http://rishtey.local/test.php which contains just a tag to display php info only...
    instead of rendering this php file, it just save the file in the download folder.
    what could be the issue with it?

  • The File could not be found or you don't have permission to access it.

    I teach Acrobat in a junior college. For an assignment students are to share an Acrobat portfolio file via Acrobat.com. So far two students have attempted to do that, I have clicked the link in the email message generated by Acrobat.com, and in each instance the error message in this discussion heading appeared.

    Michelle,
    I don't sign in. The moment Acrobat.com opens, it displays the error
    message, "The File could not be found or you don't have permission to
    access it." So, I'm guessing that the automatic sign-in email address is
    different than the one used when sending me a shared file notice.
    People use Acrobat.com to share files with individuals, most of whom
    don't have Acrobat.com IDs. Those non-members gain access smoothly.
    There shouldn't be a bouncer at the door to refuse entry to those who
    have Acrobat.com IDs but who happen to have multiple email addresses.
    You need to simply allow entry to all persons receiving invitations to
    download files whether or not they have an Acrobat.com ID.

    Good day Joe,
    Coincidentally and unfortunate I'm facing the exact same problem with my LMS 5.1 hosted on a W2K3SR2 server. This has not happen before and therefore, it's the first time.
    I'm not sure if I'm supposed to start a new thread instead of hitching another person's but I thought since we're both with the same issues, what's the biggie. Anyway, pls let me know if it's not allowable and I'll start a new one.
    The only thing that has been done prior to the issue coming up is installing JRE into a client laptop that remotes into the LMS in order to utilize the Campus Mgr's Visualisation feature. Nothing else has been done to it.
    Attached are all the logs from apache, tomcat and regdaemon. Pls help me out and let me know what else is needed. Have already tried the causer.exe pw reset and it didnt help.
    Thanks.
