Hello, do you have an index.html file in that directory?You get a 403 forbidden if directory listing is not allowed and there is none of the default files to show in the directory.

Hello list, I am in the process of trying to get name based virtual hosts established on my server (apache 2.0.54 Gentoo linux) and cannot seem to gain access to the root directory for the host even though it looks like I have everything set up correctly. When I try to access the host using Internet Explorer on Windows XP I get a 403 forbidden you don't havepermission to access / on this server error. I have included my virtual hostconfiguration below.If someone could take a look at this and indicate where I am going wrong itwould be much appreciated. I have taken a look at the documentation for setting up virtual hosts as well as the documentation on the <directory> directive. Thanks in advance, Doug Doug Lawlor, Email: dlawlor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: dlawlor1971 ---Begin configuration--- UseCanonicalName off <directory /var/www/localhost> order allow,deny allow from all </directory> <virtualhost> VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs VirtualScriptAlias /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin ServerAlias www.drl.homelinux.net </virtualhost>
