It was not the problem, but I note that the reason I get the 403 is because the last line in my VirtualHost is: RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L] It is the 'F' that generates the 403. To make the server-status work, in the VirtualHost I need: RewriteRule ^/server-status.*$ - [L] somewhere near the top. But that is not all. In <Directory "/var/www/html/www"> I need: RewriteRule ^server-status.*$ - [L] Note the difference in the '/' between <VirtualHost> and <Directory>. It must be exactly as shown or it will not work. Thanks again for your help. Mike. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
