Re: New Apache2/MySQL3.23/PHP4.3.1 From Source... 403 forbiddens?

Then make sure that each directory relative to the directory giving you 
the 403 is world readable: i.e. if you want /var/www/html to be your  / 
directory, /var, /var/www, and /var/www/html all have to be world 
readable and executable.  Of course if you can pull up individual items 
within the directory, this isn't the problem.

Make sure that the Options line isn't within some kind of IfModule block 
that makes it so that it's not read.  Also, it needs to be part of your 
Directory directive.

Make sure you have "DirectoryIndex index.html index.php" in your

Also if you want to show directory listings, you need to add Options 
Indexes to the directory.

Hi,

And before you ask, yes my permissions are set correctly.

What happens is when you go to like:

http://localhost/ it gives you a 403/Forbidden page... (or any directory
for that matter) but if you give the index.html or index.php it gives
you the correct output... any ideas?
