Question 403 Forbidden error accessing 1.9B5.1 HyperNews article 

Keywords: 403 Forbidden error get article
Forum: HyperNews Bugs
Date: 1996, Feb 05
From: Ken Tanaka <kht>

I get this error when using a browser from a machine other than the machine on which we installed HyperNews:

403 Forbidden

Your client does not have permission to get URL /cgi-bin/HyperNews/get from this server.

This happens with both Netscape and Mosaic.

Our setup involved (from hnrc):


# Directory and file modes
$hndirmode = 0775;
$hnfilemode = 0664;
:
# Security options: 1 = No Restrictions; 2 = Members Only; 3 = Admin Only
# Note: you must rerun setup for changes to take effect.
$joinSF = 1;  # Who can join
$resetPasswordSF = 3;  # Who may reset passwords
$addArticleSF = 2;   # Who may create new base articles
$hnReadSF = 1;  # Who may read articles and responses
$notifySF = 1;  # Who may change their notification info
$addResponseSF= 2;  # Who may add responses
$deleteSF = 2;  # Who may delete responses
$moveSF = 2;  # Who may move responses

Does anyone know the cause of this error?

Or of where I should start looking?
