Access Forbidden on frontend

[sam909]

This morning I downloaded the Zabbix ovf appliance and created a new vm in virtualbox. It boots the vm correctly and I can login to it with root. It tells me my ip but when i go to the ip from a local network machine I get the following error:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 403

172.160.100.93

Apache/2.2.22 (Linux/SUSE)

What is going on? I would really like to try Zabbix.

Hi,

Try this.

3. Frontend access

Access to frontend by default is allowed from:
127.0.0.1
192.168.0.0/16
10.0.0.0/8
::1

Root (/) is redirected to /zabbix on the webserver, thus frontend can be accessed both as http://<host> and http://<host>/zabbix.

This can be customised in /etc/apache2/conf.d/zabbix.conf. You have to restart webserver after modifying this file. To do so, log in using SSH as root user and execute:
service apache2 restart

Good luck.

I've tried everything I could find in the documentation. There's something else going on. Here is my zabbix.conf

<IfDefine ZABBIX>
Alias /zabbix "/usr/share/zabbix/"
RedirectMatch ^/$ /zabbix
<Directory "/usr/share/zabbix/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from any
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from 172.16.0.0/24
Allow from 192.168.0.0/16
Allow from 10.0.0.0/8
Allow from ::1
Allow from fe80::/10
</Directory>
</IfDefine>

I figured out the problem. In the list in zabbix.conf is 172.16.0.0/16, which I thought covered access from my network. But my network is 172.160.0.0/16. Had to change that, restart apache and now I'm in.
