What are the possible causes of this 403 error? All it is telling you is the configuration that is being inherited from a config for /. The closest thing I have to Debian Squeeze is Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04). It has this comment in "/etc/apache2/conf.d/security": # Disable access to the entire file system except for the directories that # are explicitly allowed later. # # This currently breaks the configurations that come with some web application # Debian packages. It will be made the default for the release after lenny. # #<Directory /> # AllowOverride None # Order Deny,Allow # Deny from all #</Directory> Since Squeeze is after Lenny, this might mean that a good place to start looking for your problem is wherever you have your <Directory /var/www/testing600.remcycle.net/<http://testing600.remcycle.net/>> directive. Do you have the mod_info handler enabled? It might be able to help find the offending directive. (Documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_info.html) - Yehuda
