My directory index is already set to: DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php index.html index.html.var but I'm still getting this problem. The messages I get are: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cometawiki/ on this server. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cometazilla/ on this server. My Document root directory has index.php in it and this does automatically load when I navigate to the directory. cometawiki and cometazilla are subdirectories of the DocumentRoot directory and have index.php and index.cgi in them respectively. If I put the links in the main index file as ./cometawiki/index.php and ./cometawiki/index.cgi they load if I put them as ./cometawiki/ and ./cometazilla/ it doesn't load them, it gives the forbidden message above. The error log says: [Wed Jul 12 13:48:49 2006] [error] [client <snip>] attempt to invoke directory as script: D:/Websites/gateway/cometawiki/, referer: http://<snip>/ I've snipped out the ip and url so I don't get loads of trash from webcrawlers :P gateway is my DocumentRoot directory where initial index.php is stored -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/index-files-in-subdirectories-tf1930381.html#a5288054 Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
