Linux, Ramdisks, Apache, 403 by Kithplana 2005-10-06 15:23:36
Looking for an alternate point of view here, as I'm currently stumped... I'm running an FC3 web server, and part of its job is now serving a webcam image every five seconds. Here's the setup: Network camera (the funny kind with a built-in web server) puts image-of-the-moment at a particular URL, which my software grabs the image from every five seconds and writes to a ramdisk I've mounted at /var/www/html/camimg, the rest of the site being in /var/www/html. This works fine.

My problem is accessing the image from the web... whenever I try to get to /camimg or anything in it I get a 403. I've checked the permissions on the /camimg folder and everything in it, and nothing's out of place. The user httpd's running as is able to read the directory... am really quite confused, any insight would be very helpful :)

      Do you really think that'll be a problem? by Arachnid2005-10-06 15:43:57
