403 Forbidden on Windows Vista using Windows Server Binaries.

Added by Andon over 3 years ago

Found Ryzom the other day in my quest for an open-source RPG to poke around with, and went to try the simplest things first: Getting a server running and a client to connect to it. Downloaded both from here: http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/WindowsBinaries (Client and standalone server from Molator's file list). Client seems to run fine, but when attempting to connect to the server it gives me an unparsed HTML string that mentions a 403 error. Additionally, when I start the server (Via the shard start bat file), it opens a web browser pointed at 127.0.0.1 - Which also gives me a 403 error.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback, i'm not getting much comments about my package.

I haven't tested my standalone server on Vista (and i will have to).

You can get a 403 error in at least 3 cases:

- The standalone server is using Server2Go which contains an Apache Web Server and a Mysql Server.
If Server2Go doesn't start, you won't be able to access the logon frontend neither the monitoring tool.
Is there a yellow icon in your taskbar ?

- If you're already using such services you may encounter conflicts with yours (such as IIS, EasyPHP, Xampp, Wamp, etc).
In that case, you will have to disable it, or to change the port settings in Server2Go or your own services if you want both at the same time.
You can also add the virtual hosts in your own Web Server and the required db in your Mysql Server.
You will find an example of the virtual hosts settings here:

You will find the db settings here:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3LX3q7MsUEGNjdkMTJlZDItMzZlNy00Y2M0LTg0ODctMGI5MTExNjEzNTlk&hl=fr

- The standalone server is using a default path c:\ryzom_core_server.
If you've not using that path the virtual hosts defined in Apache won't work; there are a virtual host for the logon frontend and the monitoring tool.
You can update the Apache settings to match your own path.

You can refer to the standalone server wiki for a part:
http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/WindowsStandaloneCoreServer#Additional-Settings

You can test the client with the Devshard too:

Let me know, if it helps or not.

So if it's not in C:\ryzom_core_server it'll give me that error. I put mine in the path that I have everything else in - C:\Stuff\Ryzom\ryzom_core_server - I guess I'll have to change the files in the link there. I was searching for 403 errors but wasn't coming up with anything and must have missed that when I glanced at the wiki, since I was looking for "403"

Thanks!

Excellent. It seems to be working. Now I just need to figure out how to create users on the system and use all the fun tools and I'll be good to go.
