Hmm, I just recreated your setup: This is the message I got, for .html and .jpg extensions. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /test/test.html on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) mod_python/3.2.2b Python/2.4.2 PHP/5.0.3 Server at 192.168.1.102 Port 80 Config File #1: <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/SERVER_FILES/test"> Options None Order deny,allow Deny from all <Files *.*> Order deny,allow Deny from all </Files> </Directory> or Config File #2: <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/SERVER_FILES/test"> Options None Order deny,allow Deny from all <Files *.html> Order deny,allow Deny from all </Files> </Directory> Check your config file, something might override this function, because your config rule seems to work for me!
