Summary0032703: Local documentation is not accessible (403)
Description

MantisBT release tarballs downloaded from SourceForge include a local copy of the Admin Guide and Developers Guide in the /doc directory.

When $g_enable_project_documentation = ON;, by default the Docs menu links the User Documentation tab to this local copy of the MantisBT Admin Guide (e.g. http://localhost/mantis/doc/en-US/Admin_Guide/html-desktop/).

This does not work: an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error is triggered, due to the presence of an .htaccess file which denies access the directory's contents.

Additional Information

The file was introduced in 1.1.0rc1 (see 0008286),

TagsNo tags attached.

Developer guides) that are present in the /doc directory when MantisBT
is installed via Release tarballs.
