Re: [spctools-discuss] tpp ubuntu forbidden dir

What are the permissions set to in your topdir?

ls -al /opt/tpp/data

Hi everyone, we have the tpp up and running (I thought anyway) on ubuntu and are having an issue accessing subdir's in our /opt/tpp/data dir, We can create subfolders using the create dir button within the tpp, but then we we try to access them we get a "attempted to access forbidden dir" message.  We can access the dir's using http://host/tpp/data/  so I think the permissions are set correctly. Or maybe not...Any ideas? 

Cheers

We fixed the problem, it had something to do with tpp/data being a symlink.... I can find out the exact details if you are interested

I'm guessing FollowSymLinks wasn't set in Apache :)

HI Brett,

The privileges listed in the SPC wiki for Ubuntu 10.04.3 (http://tools.proteomecenter.org/wiki/index.php?title=TPP_4.5.2:_Installing_on_Ubuntu_10.04.3) tpp/data directory has them set at 771 and the owner and group set to the user that Apache runs as in my case its www-data for both.  I don't think its necessary to set the data directory to execute so 660 (e.g. chmod -R 660 /your_path_to/data) should also work.  If that isn't the problem check your tpp/cgi-bin/tpp_gui_config.pl file and see if it is correctly set for the path of the data directory.

Note that in the above wiki entry we are installing in /usr/local/tpp.  Yours seems to be in /opt.  Either should be fine as long as you correctly specify the paths where you have TPP installed.

Thats all I can think of now.
