Description of problem: As is, the openlayers package is not usable on Fedora 11. It is configured as follows: Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from localhost However, when calling the URL http://localhost/openlayer/OpenLayers.js, I can see in the apache logs: ==> access_log <== localhost.localdomain - - [01/May/2009:22:30:02 +0200] "GET /openlayers/OpenLayers.js HTTP/1.1" 403 301 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20080528 Fedora/2.26.1-2.fc11 Epiphany/2.22 Firefox/3.5" ==> error_log <== [Fri May 01 22:30:02 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/openlayers/www/OpenLayers.js Access is denied, I get a « 403 Forbidden » error. As you can see, access is allowed only for « localhost », but apache sees my client as « localhost.localdomain » So, openlayers.conf should allow access for « localhost.localdomain ». That would make it work out of box :) I simply added the line: Allow from localhost.localdomain Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openlayers-2.7-3.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I'm not sure what happened then, but it looks like it was a bug from my installation of Fedora 11 (not yet released at this time). I noticed that the /etc/hosts I had and the one shipped right now in Fedora 11 are different. So I tried to replace mine with the one from the current setup-2.8.3 package. This issue doesn't happen anymore, so it doesn't seem to have been an openlayers issue. Closing as WORKSFORME.
