You don't have permission to access file on this server
Symptoms
When trying to browse the UI to view files under certain directories (i.e. WEB-INF
), an error is shown:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /projects/CIET/repos/event-app/browse/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml on this server.
Cause
A configuration in your reverse proxy is blocking the access to certain URLs. If you are using Apache, look out for configurations in httpd.conf
like:
<Proxy */projects/CIET/repos/event-app/browse/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Proxy>
or
<LocationMatch "/WEB-INF/">
deny from all
</LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch "/META-INF/">
deny from all
</LocationMatch>
Resolution
Configure your reverse proxy to allow requests to those URLs.
