[opencms-dev] trouble with 404 handler

[Jonathan Woods]

Christian -
 
It works for me, though my handler is at http://xxx/handle404.  And its
parameter is provided as a query parameter named exporturi, whose value is
the path to the resource (its URI) without the site root prepended.  That
is, at least in my configuration - I had to jump through so many hoops to
get Apache 1.x, mod_rewrite, mod_jk and OpenCms to work together that the
trauma has clouded my memory of what comes from where!

Subject: [opencms-dev] trouble with 404 handler


Hi List,

I am trying to configure static export and for that I need a working
file-not-found handler. 
The static export configuration itself is nothing that I am so concerned
about, but I have a problem with the error handler servlet of opencms.

No matter which URL I call that should be associated with the errorhandler
servlet, I always get a tomcat-style permission denied page with error code
403 (=permission denied), saying: "Access to the specified resource () has
been forbidden." 

For  example, if I call:
    http://localhost:8080/opencms-errorhandler/
or 
    http://localhost:8080/opencms-errorhandler/handle404/
or
 
http://localhost:8080/opencms-errorhandler/handle404/sites/default/path/to/p
age.html
or
    http://localhost:8080/opencms-errorhandler/handle404/path/to/page.html

... with any of these URLs I get the mentioned error (
/sites/default/path/to/page.html stands for an existing file in the VFS ).
___________

- I have checked my opencms and tomcat logs and there is nothing there,
although I have set the log4j loglevel to INFO for everything.
- I have checked the permissions of all files below the /system/handlers/
directory in the virtual filesystem, but all files are readable and viewable
for Guest users
- The rest of my system is working. If I directly call the 404 handler page
"/system/handler/handle404.html", instead of triggering the separate
errorhandling servlet, then I see the normal error page instead of a
permission denied error.


So my questions are:
* Does it work for anyone?
* Does anyone know what could be wrong with the errorhandler servlet?
* Did anyone else experience something similar?

Any replies are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
christian
