Thanks, Nick, for the suggestion. I did that. And callers still get the terrible "Forbidden - you don't have permissions to access /(file)"
I have doublechecked the permissions, all the way from the root to the domain, as well as all the directories. As overkill, I set directories drwxrwxrwx and files -rwxr-xr-x all the way to the end files mentioned on the error reports. Still no luck. What should I do? Any help would be much appreciated. There must be others who have this combination of .html files and plain ascii files. All my plain ascii files are now grouped under a single directory (called "bbs") on the same level with the primary .html files. If anyone else has a similar mixture please email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a detailed discussion of permissions. You can tell by the fact that this was once a BBS that I have been doing it a while. But Apache is all new to me. Please help.
