Ok. Although I managed to get it working when creating an alias that was under the server-root, I still wanted to get it working for directories outside of the server-root. I done what you mentioned, and created a .htaccess file and placed it in the following directory... "C:/Documents and Settings/Trystan/My Documents/" This .htaccess file included the follow one single directive... Options Indexes But I am still getting the same error message in my Apache Log... Directory index forbidden by rule: c:/documents and settings/trystan/my documents/ Have I done the right thing by use the .htaccess file?, and should it be in the directory that I have placed it in?
