The default Apache configuration is to restrict access to the entire filesystem and only allow access to the contents of your DocumentRoot.

So normally you would have deny rules on <Directory /> and allow rules for <Directory /Library/Websites> or where ever your DocumentRoot is configured.

but as /cgi-bin/WebObjects/YourApp.woa is not located under your DocumentRoot or for that matter in your /cgi-bin folder either, the default deny rules kick in and return a 403 access forbidden error.

You might do better to use a "Location /cgi-bin/WebObjects/YourApp.woa> and put your allow rules inside that for a more secure setup.

Thanks everyone, found it.

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

vs:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    #Order deny,allow
    #Deny from all
</Directory>



Why is that, actually?

I also fell for this, the first time I setup mod_webobjects.
