Forbidden 403 error in Leopard 10.5

Juo — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:00:25 +0000

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.

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

Bagel Factory Bluetooth Advert

Juo — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:06:49 +0000

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.

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”.

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
