The below is a diff of my old commonhttpd.conf and my new commonhttpd.conf... this should correct the error (if you're not familiar with patch/diff, the lines prefixed by "-" are the old lines, the "+" are the new lines)... in other words, I'm commenting this stuff out. This starts at line 33 in a stock /etc/httpd/commonhttpd.conf file. Try this and restart apache once you've saved the file and see if it works. --- commonhttpd.conf~ Wed Apr 3 14:24:09 2002 +++ commonhttpd.conf Wed Apr 3 14:24:09 2002 @@ -33,12 +33,12 @@ #</Directory> #Restricted set of options -<Directory /> - Options -All -Multiviews - AllowOverride None - Order deny,allow - Deny from all -</Directory> +#<Directory /> +# Options -All -Multiviews +# AllowOverride None +# Order deny,allow +# Deny from all +#</Directory> # -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6mdk uptime: 13 days 23 hours 33 minutes.
