You don't have permission to access file on this server
Symptoms
In Bitbucket Server (up to version 4.x), when trying to browse the UI to view files under certain directories (i.e. WEB-INF
), an error is shown:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /projects/CIET/repos/event-app/browse/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml on this server.
Cause
A configuration in your reverse proxy is blocking the access to certain URLs. If you are using Apache, look out for configurations in httpd.conf
like:
<Proxy */projects/CIET/repos/event-app/browse/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Proxy>
or
<LocationMatch "/WEB-INF/">
deny from all
</LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch "/META-INF/">
deny from all
</LocationMatch>
Resolution
Configure your reverse proxy to allow requests to those URLs.
