Animated GIF problem

Hello all. I am having problem with animated GIFs. I recently had an
occasion to put a few up on my server, but now when I try to access
them, they come back a 403 Forbidden. They do no appear on the index
page in an otherwise empty directory, either. I have the permissions
set to be the exact same as all of the other files. I'm running Fedora
Core 4, and Apache 4.0.1. Any advice on how to get these files working
would be appreciated.

I don't think that this would be anything to do with apache as such, but
suggest that you check the permissions on the file system to ensure that th=
e
files in question are readable by the user that the web server is running
as.

Re: Animated GIF problem

I have checked the permissions, and they are the same as all of the
other files that do work. I have tried it with a 777 permission status
before, and it still didn't work. As for the log files, the error
given is:

[Mon Nov 07 20:04:15] [error][client 24.333.236.52] (13)Permission
denied: access to /pictures/cbdAd2.gif denied, referer:
http://www.brevardhomeschool.net/christian/index.html

As I mentioned before, this only appears to happen with animated GIFs.
All other images,(PNG, TIFF, JPG, normal GIF), work perfectly. Thank
you all for your help!

This is a filesystem permissions problem. Either it is the
permissions on the file, directory, or parent directory, or it is the
SELinux configuration.

Re: Animated GIF problem

Well, now we know the source of the problem. I disabled SELinux, and
the GIFs appeared without a flaw. So, I re-enabled it, and allowed
everything possible through the GUI configuration utility.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. I currently have it working be
disabling SELinux protection for HTTPD, but I'd really rather fix it
than disable it. Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct
thing to enable/disable?

It looks like the she-bang path to the script interpreter on the top
line of the script is not correct. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html#troubleshoot
and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#scriptinterpr etersource
