gitorious gives permission denied on fresh bitnami setup , amazon ec2 instance using https

Question

This is a brand new installation of a bitnami gitorius image on EC2, worked fine until i tried to enable https/ssl.

I am sure i have misconfigured apache somehow, however the root document at https://tarantula.anatexis.net loads just fine.

but if one goes to the gitorious app at https://tarantula.anatexis.net/gitorious you get permission denied.

which config file do I edit to allow https traffic to gitorious.

looking at the apache logs, is see this,

[Mon Jun 03 17:25:20 2013] [error] [client 71.17.13.29] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/gitorious/, referer:Https://tarantula.anatexis.net/

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Joe

Answer 1

OK, so i fixed it, found the file /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf this config file has the document root in it for ssl traffic, the default is wrong and it needs to be changed to

DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/apps/gitorious/htdocs/public"

This solved all my issues I believe.
