Forbidden

[babbsmill]

I get this message when the directory is empty or there is no index.html file, however I would like to enable the server to display the content of chosen directory ie the filenames within it.
HOW CAN I DO THIS?

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /folder/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

.htaccess

google around for Index

[babbsmill]

I have included the "Options +Indexes" in the .htaccess file of the subdirectory I want to be visible but still no change still get the same Forbidden message. Any Ideas? Anyone

[Jeremy]

can you kinda draw out the structure for me?

ie for me...

/usr/home/UN/www/site.com/somedir/.htaccess

/usr/home is on my FreeBSD box.

so anything in somedir and beyond would be controlled by that .htaccess.

Have now found the problem ... directory permissions set incorrectly now all working as I want...

Thanks for your help jeremy

What was the chmod on the dir? im guessing the public flag wasn't viewable.
Good stuff anyways.

Cheers.
