I haven't figured out how to get rid of the Forbidden problem, but I've found
a kind of workaround to get the Apache to send a response... Since accessing
the /foo was causing a Forbidden (403) error, I added an ErrorDocument:
=====================================================
ErrorDocument 403 "This is the response message that I want"
Alias "/foo" "/apps/products/apache/instances/apache_oam/foo"
<Location />
.
.
.
</Location>
=====================================================
That does cause the browser to get a response message, but I KNOW it is a real
hack, and also NOT GOOD, because I think that with the ErrorDocument, that
means every time a user gets a 403 error, they are going to see that "This is
the response message that I want" response message :(!!
So far to try to avoid the Forbidden error, I've tried adding:
<Directory "/apps/products/apache/instances/apache_oam/foo">
Require all granted
<.Directory>
But I still get the Forbidden error.
If anyone knows how I cat avoid the Forbidden error (so I wouldn't need the
ErrorDocument), please help?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
We are using Apache 2.4.48. This Apache is primarily acting as a proxy, and we
use the WebLogic Plugin for Apache to connect from the Apache to a WebLogic
server/backend.
In the Apache ssl.conf, we have a <VirtualHost>, and in that <VirtualHost>,
they have a <Location />:
<VirtualHost _default_:443 _default_:14101>
.
.
.
<Location />
WLSRequest On
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster xxx.foo.com:14101
WLCookieName OAM_JSESSIONID
SecureProxy ON
WLSSLWallet ".../wallet"
Debug OFF
WLLogFile "/logs/oam_location.out"
</Location>
.
.
.
<VirtualHost>
Because of the <Location />, this Apache is not able to serve local content
(e.g., html, etc.), but I have a requirement to be able to serve a single HTML
page from this Apache.
Unfortunately, they want to keep that <Location /> in the ssl.conf, so I am
trying to figure out how I might be able to configure the Apache so that it can
serve that HTML page that I am needing?
I have tried to add an Alias in front of the <Location />, i.e.:
===================================================
Alias "/foo" "/apps/products/apache/instances/apache_oam/foo"
<Location />
.
.
.
</Location>
===================================================
But I am getting a Forbidden response. Also sometimes the browser seems to
"loop", adding "/index.html" to the end of the URL in the address bar.
So I was wondering: Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do,
without disturbing the <Location />??
Thanks,
Jim
