[rt-users] ticket attachment link not working - path not crea ted

nope its a stock apache config.. I had installed rt 2.0.15 and had the same
problem so I commented out the items in httpd.conf and installed rt3 and
added the items to the config for it. I had to make and install a couple of
the perl dependancies becuase the make check failed during the
"sbin/rt-test-dependencies --install" stuff but I didnt note which ones I
had to install manually.. is there a couple of the perl dependancies that I
should go double check with regard to attachments.. what causes apache to
send a request to the /ticket/attachment/x/y/attachment to RT and which item
is called in its place? I'm actually getting a 403 error.. the directories
are set as:

drwxr-sr-x    4 root     bin          4096 Mar 24 08:38 Ticket
and in the Ticket dir...
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     bin          4096 Mar 27 17:29 Attachment

I chmod'd the Atachment dir to 777 to see if that would help.. I'm running
apache as nobody, nobody. I poked around the database and it appears that
the attachments made it in there.. any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris.

Let me guess. you're using a FileMatch directive in your httpd.conf.
Which means that apache doesn't know to hand off that request to RT.
