Ignore the first paragraph unless you want to know why I'm doing this ;-)
While battling trying to get around my lack of internet connection (to grab CVS as part of the OE build process), I thought I'd run a local webserver to provide my CVS_TARBALL_STASH.
I started up the apache service/daemon on my Mandrake 10 box, and can use a web browser to look at http://127.0.0.1/ (http://127.0.0.1/) without troubles. I can also click on the link it provides which points to the "additional modules" (or similar name) directory underneath /var/www/html/ (FYI this directory contains some kind of HowTo). I get a directory listing of this directory.
I also have a directory called /var/www/html/zaurus, which has the same permissions (according to ls -rtl) as the "additional modules" directory, but I can't get a directory listing; all I get is a permission denied error, any ideas why?
Second question: can I create a symlink in /var/www/html (pointing to my cvs stash which lives in my home directory) which will be accessible from a web browser. I tried this, and get the same permissions problem, not quite sure where I have to change the permissions of this one - is it the permissions of the symlink itself (which I'd assume) or the ones of the target directory?
This is annoying as I've previously been able to extract feed tarballs in /var/www/html and have been able to point ipkg at them and use them without troubles; I'm not sure what's changed.
Cheers,
Simon
