I’m not feeling well this morning, and with Dr. Bouvier also out this week, I am canceling class (M3 and M6) and making it a PEX work day instead. You are welcome to use the classroom and discuss the assignment with classmates – within the bounds of the Help Policy, of course.

Apache configuration instructions

Several students informed me that web pages were not loading correctly in their virtual machine (VM), returning the following error message

Forbidden
You don’t have perission to access this resource

Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

when they attempted to access http://localhost/~student/ (where student is replaced with their username). Please run the following command in your terminal to resolve this issue:

sudo usermod -a -G $(whoami) www-data

and, if you continue to see the error page,

chmod 751 ~  # NOTE: The last character is a tilde

Let me know if you’re still having problems after running these commands.
