DON'T USE LINUXCONFIG TO MODIFY APACHE!

The following bug is hitting alot of people based on the number of
messages I see. Therefore I am posting the problem and solution.
I am posting to several groups because the problem is being posted to
several groups.
If you know is responsible for "linuxconf" please send this to them.
Also please send to ReadHat. I have tried to do so unsuccessfully.

PROBLEM:

I have installed a plain vanilla server installation of 6.2. However
I can't get Apache to work. When I try to access the default document
I get the following error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

SOLUTION:

If you used linuxconf to change your Apache configuration, it has
most likely hosed your httpd.conf. A common problem seems to be
where it replaces the line:
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
(The section prevents access to authentication *.ht files)
with the line:
<Files ~ >
(Now the section prevents access to ALL files!)

Find this line in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change it back and I
bet your problem clears up.

I cannot take credit for this solution. It came from

I had the same problem I had to rewrite all of the configuration and put
them in to three difrent files (srm.conf httpd.conf access.conf) i think the
commands are loadet in the wrong order.

The problem can be easily solve by chagne one line inside your
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Chagne the line
<Files ~>
into
<Files ~"\.ht">
it seems to be the bug of linuxconf
it will write a wrong setting to your httpd.conf
anyway, after correct it
run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd reload
to relad your new setting, and your web server should run now, enjoy it
