welcome page . But , when i open my web browser and try to access the web-page

Hello,

What id is presented by the web page when trying to connect? That id may have no permissions in the mainframe security system.

Hi dick scherrer,

No id is presented by the web page. It's too estrange because , per example , when i change the PASS statement below :

pass /* /my_private_folder/docs/*

to :

pass /* /etc/*

it works ! I mean , i can open the page specified in Welcome on my web browser.
But when I use " my /my_private_folder/docs/* it doesn't."
I Really don't know what is happening...

Thanks,

Regards,

Hello,

Have you checked the permissions on the file system?

It sounds like you have the proper permissions in etc, but not the other?

Hi!

You mean use "chmod" ?
I've already used "chmod 777 frtpage.html" , but it doesn't work...
Im getting crazy! :roll: :?
rs

Hello,

You may need to chmod the directories as well. . .

If you do a "long list" ((something like ls -afl ) iirc, been a while since i was a unix sysadmin), you can see the permissions for the directories and the files.

The problem was in directory access permissions!
