Hi Mark, by directive DirectoryIndex you are enumerate files, which will be listed in case, when client will point only to dorectory. So in case that client will call http://mythweb/ apache will check existence of files enumerated by DirectoryIndex. If it is not able to find them, apache try to do autoindex - display directory in web form.
Autoindex is disabled by Options in your configuration and DirectoryIndex is not present in directory. Logical result of it is 403. I hope it will help you. mh On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 6:10 PM, Mark Adams <mada...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 10:06 AM, Frank Gingras < > francois.ging...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On 25/08/2010 12:05 PM, Mark Adams wrote: >> >>> I really hate to bother the group with this issue because my ignorance >>> about >>> apache access is so profound.
