GLPI DEPLOY: Web access to the files directory, should not be allowed

Hi,

I'm trying to install GLPI on a Windows Server 2016 server, with IIS10 and PHP 7.2.
I have given the modification permissions to the users: IIS_IUSRS, Users, IUSR, NETWORK SERVICE (permissions to modify the glpi folder).

During the verification of the requirements, the following message is returned to me:
"Web access to the files directory should not be allowed but this cannot be checked automatically on this instance.
Make sure acces to error log file is forbidden; otherwise review .htaccess file and web server configuration."

Any suggestions on how to solve?

Thank you.

Hello

I don't know much about how to set up GLPI on windows servers, but you already did review the access permissions to correct read/write of webserver to access files from glpi folder. Usually this is setup to apache group with recursive permissions (i don't know if you using apache).

What version of glpi you trying install?

Re: GLPI DEPLOY: Web access to the files directory, should not be allowed

The fastes solution I know is to use a Linux server and avodi windows. A Virtual machine can be used too.
Otherwise, try with phpcas.
Are u sure u haven't a button with "proceed anyway"?
CAS is used only for auth versus 3d party server

My problem is not CAS (I don't use it) but the last line with Web access ....

Re: GLPI DEPLOY: Web access to the files directory, should not be allowed

Let's start from begining: that last line is only a warning for a person installing GLPI, it doesn't prevent from installing and using GLPI. Are you able to proceed with installation? Forget for a moment about this warning, this can be verified later, with GLPI running.

Re: GLPI DEPLOY: Web access to the files directory, should not be allowed

Check the apache configuration file... you will see the next lines...

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

And you will change it for this, y the tags <Directory /var/www/>

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Next restart the apache service

I can't find <Directory /var/www/> in httpd.conf.

I think it is not that same directory in Windows, but I can't say for sure what it is... Try

<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/">

or

<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/glpi/">

Re: GLPI DEPLOY: Web access to the files directory, should not be allowed

Thank you at all, my problem was corrected by adding "Require all granted" in httpd.conf like robertocarlos.floresh

Yes, adding "Require all granted"  to the https.conf has fixed the issue.
