Forbidden 403 error in Leopard 10.5

When turning on web sharing on 10.5 I had an error message

Forbidden: 403 Error
You dont have permissions to access localhost/~juo

Strange I thought, the fix is pretty simple though.

  1. Edit the httpd.conf file, at /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
  2. Edit the file (you can use Pico “sudo pico httpd.conf”) and search for <Directory />
  3. Change the line that says Deny from all to Allow from all
  4. Save
  5. Stop and start the web server in the control panel

Bagel Factory Bluetooth Advert

While waiting for my 12:53 train I opened my laptop to sync some music id downloaded last night to iPhone, I’ve got bluetooth enabled at the moment so I can tether my iPhone.

I was greeted with a none obtrusive Bluetooth notification from The Bagel Factory asking me if I wanted to accept the file they where sending me.

Bluetooth Notification
I don’t know about anyone else but I get extremely bored waiting for trains, curiosity and the fact I’ve never received such a request peaked my interest enough to click “Show”.

Bagel Factory Advert
I was greeted with a PDF offering me a Free Filter Coffee (when buying a bagel). I didn’t buy a bagel and I didn’t get the free coffee but I do like the idea of this.

I think advertising over technology can be exciting and its interesting that they are trying new things.

I know this isn’t an insanely interesting blog post, I just found it rather interesting :)
