Ah...well I do have the lines: ScriptAlias /cometawiki/ "D:/Websites/gateway/cometawiki/" ScriptAlias /cometazilla/ "D:/Websites/gateway/cometazilla/" in my httpd.conf but if I remove them I still get the forbidden message but now I also get them when I use the full url i.e. even using ./cometawiki/index.php brings up the forbidden message when formerly this processed the page. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/index-files-in-subdirectories-tf1930381.html#a5289031 Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
