Hi Using Apache server running on windows machine, Have problem while downloading any of the *.gz files from the webserver, following is the error, when the open fails. The file has all the proper permission. No issues download all other files types (.zip, .tar etc...) I tried overwriting the MIME types as below, but no help. AddEncoding x-gzip gz tgz AddType application/x-compress .Z AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz No errors are produced in the error log, when the download fails. Appreciate any help/pointers or solutions to resolve this issue. ---error displayed on the browser----- Forbidden You don't have permission to access /Test.pl.tar.gz on this server.
