Unable to copy files to Apache server

[Azzan]

Hey Guys,

I'm having a Apache server setup on my system. The problem is that i'm unable to copy a index.html file to my Apache server. Whenever i try to copy it shows me an error stating that "i don't have permissions". Can any one tell me that why i'm having such problem on my system? Does any body knows about this issue? Kindly help me out to resolve this issue.

Thanks a lot.

Do you have the user rights with you? If you don't have it will not allow you to copy your file without having the rights to access.

In the config file, check: DirectoryIndex-index.html should be one of the entries, add it if it's missing in the directory.

Worked it out. I reset my config file with the default one and just added comments in and restarted the server until it failed. The problem was in:

<Directory "D:/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

The default is 'AllowOverride None' which worked. I've no idea why I had changed it to 'All' and I have no idea why this would have caused a problem. But it's fixed which is the most important thing.

Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.

I am sure, scp should work, but only problem is it prompts for passwords, but there is a way to work around to avoid passowrd prompt
