511 access not allowed after apache upgrade

[AlaskanWolf]

Not sure where this goes, but theres a bug after upgrading apache, i recompiled and just cant figure it out

when you go to http://sandy.thehideout.net/~wwwhost/ or even the ip/~whatever url.....

you get

511 Access Not Allowed

http://sandy.thehideout.net/~wwwhost/

Access Not Allowed from this Domain

Seems you have the bandwidth protection module loaded.

i recompiled and removed that, even went with the easy install

 

[moronhead]

Did you remove the lines related to bandwidth protection from httpd.conf?

 

[AlaskanWolf]

what would it entail? not sure what im looking for

Actually, I kind of like that. It prevents users to access sites on the server from the wrong domains. For example, if your server's host name is &server3.webhost.com&, people can't access other sites by going to http://www.any-users-site.com/~account/, they have to load http://server3.webhost.com/~account/.

Glad I found this post
Any new IP-less accounts could no longer be viewed until the domain name went through. Was just giving the 511 error. Had me puzzling through the log files for hours lol.

Thanks for the tip on accessing them.

Gonna leave that mod in I think, seems like a good service.

Cheers,

I had this problem, and I did have some bandwidth modules on, but no more than a different, working server. So, I went through httpd.conf line by line to see what was different. Finally, them main server's virtualhost servername on the &bad& box was set to localhost.localdomain. I changed it to its actual name, restarted apache, and it works now.
Maybe this will help someone...

Actually, BW protection is a good thing (tm). I realize that you can't get the clients setup until their domain filters through, however, this, well, it protects from users using ~/username/blah in order to lay the bw cost on you instead of them. I know, it's a cheap tactic, but people still do it.
