Hello, I am having a problem with a 403 error that I can't solve. I am trying to set up a stats package on a server hosting about 30 different websites. The stats package is in a sub folder of the htdocs folder. It is accessed through a scriptAlias directive on all the websites. e.g. www.foo.com/stats/..... or www.bar.com/stats/...... the stats package is run by a perl script with a complicated (to the average customer) argument, so I want to do an auto redirect to it. e.g. www.foo.com/stats/filename.pl?config=[......] so I want to redirect to it automatically by using www.foo.com/stats/index.php (which is a very simple script which just calls the perl script) The problem is that entering the URL www.foo.com/stats/ gives a 403 access forbidden error. however, www.foo.com/stats/index.php works perfectly. System specs are: Apache 2 Triad with SSL on win 2003. I have full console and admin access, but I can't make major changes. (such as dump M$) I thought that the problem might be windows folder permissions, but I duplicated permissions for a working website. no change. More than happy to read the manual if I could figure out which part. Any help or sugestions appreciated Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
