how to configure client on remote host correctly?

Patchman server located at http://xx.xx.xx.xx/patchman/ address.

When I point client to patchman url like http://xx.xx.xx.xx

I got an error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.4.57 (Debian) Server at test-debian12.mm.loc Port 80</address>
</body></html>

when I point client to http://xx.xx.xx.xx/patchman/

client throws error 403:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2023 13:44:51 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.57 (Debian)
Content-Length: 285

</body></html>

connection from localhost client works well

and it points to:
patchman-client -s http://127.0.0.1/patchman/ as described in installation instruction

what is correct setting for connection?
Thanks in advance

The issue was resolved.

These steps are required:

allow apache access to the settings and to the sqlite db:
chown -R :www-data /etc/patchman
chmod -R g+r /etc/patchman
chown -R :www-data /var/lib/patchman
chmod -R g+w /var/lib/patchman/db

and need to point a client to:

patchman-client -s http://xx.xx.xx.xx/patchman/
