Puppet Dashboard - Directory Index Forbidden

Question

I also have issue on launching the Puppet Dashboard UI, Below is my config file. can anyone help me on this issue please.

Error I am getting :

[Thu Aug 20 05:25:09 2015] [error] [client 192.168.XXX.XXX] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/

Below is my VirtualHost file.

# UPDATE THESE PATHS TO SUIT YOUR ENVIRONMENT
#LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-5.0.15

                Options None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/puppet-dashboard_error.log
  LogLevel warn
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/puppet-dashboard_access.log combined

I could see my DNS is absolutely working fine, I have also ensured stopping my host level firewall and selinux.

Thanks

The issue seems to be that apache isn't able to find an index file and tries to list the directory content - which is forbidden due to `Options None`. Please have a look at https://wiki.debian.org/PuppetDashboard There are some variables e.g. `RailsBaseURI /` which are not set in your vhost config. Additionally: Is everything properly installed into the DocumentRoot ? — mat1010, Aug 22 '15 at 21:57
@mat1010 : tried adding the "RailsBaseURI /" - still get the same error. — Vasanth Nag K V, Mar 31 '18 at 02:23

Maybe this will help?

1) In the /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf change the:

Options -Indexes to Options Indexes (You may want to comment out the lines completely - depends what exactly you need).

2) Second thing maybe you just need to adjust the +x (execute) rights for your /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/ directory.

Try running chmod 777 /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/ which will give all to users, group, world. Please don't forget to adjust it correctly afterwards you are finished. If you want to run the chmod recursively add -R option.

@VasanthNagKV did not load properly the chat window for me. Anyways, check your Passager configuration with `rvmsudo passenger-config validate-install` and paste the result? – tukan Apr 04 '18 at 09:08
sudo: rvmsudo: command not found i get this :(- i have not installed rvm – Vasanth Nag K V Apr 04 '18 at 11:14
@VasanthNagKV how did you install ruby then? – tukan Apr 04 '18 at 14:42
i have installed it with yum. the tutorials i followed for the dashboard installation did not show me rvm. – Vasanth Nag K V Apr 05 '18 at 06:55
@VasanthNagKV that is **not** necessary wrong. I think it is good idea to have rvm on dev/testing environment (which I guessed you have). On the other hand it is, in my eyes, preferred to have system wide ruby (generally you can check here with most of the post I agree - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5559188/is-a-system-wide-install-of-rvm-a-bad-idea). If you have installed it via `yum` please check it via `sudo /usr/bin/passenger-config validate-install`. – tukan Apr 05 '18 at 08:31
i have run this and it says everything is fine. – Vasanth Nag K V Apr 06 '18 at 07:23
