Help Please Google Tap .htaccess 403 forbidden

Nuke Cadet Joined: Feb 12, 2003 Posts: 4 Location: USA

I just uploaded the google tap for the first time..... 0.60 for php-nuke 6.0. I am not sure if i put the .htaccess in the wrong place (i put it in the same place as the config.php file is) - I'm now guessing that that was wrong. But now I can't even bring my site up at all. 403 forbidden message.

I can't even see the .htaccess file to delete it?

Any advice?

Thanks, Dave

Yes it is supposed to be found in your nuke base dir. If you are getting a 403 then there must be some command in .htaccess that isn't allowing you to see the site. Please lets see the contents.

sorry, do you mean the contents of the .htaccess file?

sorry for the double post earlier also....

Code:

#Directions: rename this file to ".htaccess" without quotes.

# deny most common except .php
<FilesMatch "\.(inc|tpl|h|ihtml|sql|ini|conf|class|bin|spd|theme|module)$">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

<Limit GET PUT POST>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Limit>

I should also mention that I am on a virtual hosting server.... which really bites..... but could this be the problem?

Thanks again,

what a great community,

Dave

Question is, does your server have mod_rewrite enabled?

Nuke Cadet Joined: Feb 12, 2003 Posts: 4 Location: USA

Thanks Zhen,

Just sent my host a request to enable/install mod_rewrite. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Hello,
I just install Google Tap 0.6.0,
I couldn't get it work on my localhost at home, so I decided to load the modified files up to the webserver.

I have mod_rewrite enabled.
But the .htaccess file blocks me. Error403 - Forbidden

Code:

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.jrodriguez.de Port 80

Here the begin of the .htaccess file

Code:

#Directions: rename this file to ".htaccess" without quotes.

# deny most common except .php
<FilesMatch "\.(inc|tpl|h|ihtml|sql|ini|conf|class|bin|spd|theme|module)$">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

<Limit GET PUT POST>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Limit>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule /index.html /index.php

I don't change anything in this file, just rename it.
Another problem on localhost is, that the .html files are not shown
Error Http404

Did anyone can help me?

Make sure you have symbolic link off for one.

Sorry Zhen,
but i don't know what you mean with symbolic link.
Is it a parameter ?

Please, explain it for me.
I didn't found anything in the Search function of this forum -> Only on post ... and i'm having no idea.

I think the google tap is a great work and i will use it Smile

.... but I don't know exactly what you mean.

...and sorry for my stupidity

Hi
it is a shame that we have not been able to get google-tap working. In my case I get server 500 error. I posted a message and got quite a few replies http://www.nukecops.com/postlite2840-.html. But nobody seems to have a solution to this problem. We really need help and some expert thinking about the problem.
Thanks.

I stripped off the beginning slash as shown below (Stolen from URL from previous post) in the .htaccess file and it got rid of the Forbidden error I was experiencing. If you are on a virtual server, you might need to get the rest of the change (shown in the previous post)

The following is the only thing I changed in .htaccess:

RewriteRule index.html index.php

I just wanted to post this fix in this thread. It's the only one that shows up for search of "google tap forbidden", and I missed the link shown above on previous visits.

About search engines, do they index if the link is in the form of a redirect in a meta tags or with an onload etc. in the body tag?

Nuke Cops Founder Joined: Nov 14, 2002 Posts: 5939

mod_rewrite is all server based, the search engines see only what you see in the URLs.

Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2003 7:03 pm

Thank you for that.

Now something else.

I have seen many posts on this thread about Rewrite etc. to be put in .htaccess.
Is there a file with all the data that can be doenload from here.
I don't seem to find it.
All I can see in your download area is rewrites to help search engines finding pages.
