Start by looking in the apache error log.

Joshua,

 

I have downloaded another http server, which works from command

line and I can access the same page for which I denied access by

Apache 2.2.3 server.  It seems I am missing some configuration

parameters.  Can someone help please.

 

Here is the error log message

 

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/index.html

 

And here is the configuration information.

 

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

 

Should I change dir_module to C:\.....\htdocs.  Will that help?

 

Thanks  in advance.
