It's apache, the previous maintainer defaulted the access to local machine
only... I may change that but I'd need to know how to do it in a generic
way since I have no idea what kind of subnet you're on. In my case at home
I use 192.168.0.0/24 so I had to modify /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf
from:
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.4
<RequireAll>
Require valid-user
<RequireAny>
Require local
</RequireAny>
</RequireAll>
</IfModule>
to:
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.4
<RequireAll>
Require valid-user
<RequireAny>
Require local
Require ip 192.168.0 <---- HERE
</RequireAny>
</RequireAll>
</IfModule>
Which would allow any computer on my subnet to access the server. After
that a "systemctl restart httpd" should work.
Thanks,
Richard
