I did as suggested, and still get one kind of error I can't understand. Here is the complete line as it appears in the error_log, except that the client identity is X'd out: [Fri Oct 28 06:42:19 2005] [error] [client XX.XXX.XX.XX] Directory index forbidden by rule: /home/httpd/vhosts/aidsinfobbs.org/httpdocs/articles/ There are others of the same format and message, that refer to other directories. All such data directories are drwxrwxrwx since 2 days ago. Callers can access a certain datafile within that directory if the name of it is known and appended to the directory name, but they cannot access the directory itself for browsing, nor can they see the file names in it.
