I’m trying to get GeoServer 2.8.0 working for the first time. I followed the installation instructions, but when I browse to the web server, it says “403 Forbidden You don’t have permission to access / on this server.” The server runs Apache 2.x. If I put an index.html file in the geoserver directory, it appears in my browser. It’s as if Java is not running, but ps –ef shows Java is running. The server operating system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x without a GUI, so it is not possible to run a browser on the server itself. The local firewall prevents access on 8080, but I’ve added proxy entries to the Apache config file to allow port 80 traffic to be routed to 127.0.0.1:8080 and vice-versa. Netstat shows Java is listening on port 8080. What to check next?
Try browsing to port 8080

In case anyone else needs assistance with proxying in Apache, make sure you load the proxy modules in your Apache configuration files. You need at least mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http. To see whether they are loaded, use this command: “httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES | grep proxy”.
