Hi

In my error log, "Directory index forbidden by rule:", but set up in my httpd.conf is

<Virtual>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/html
SetEnv SQWEBMAIL_TEMPLATE /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/html
</Virtual>

chmod 755 -R /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/html

What does &quot;forbidden by rule&quot; mean?

Thanks for any help
 
i'm guessing here... you need to have an actual file, ex. index.html, in said directory, otherwise you will get that error. as well, somewhere in your conf is the entry

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php default.php main.php
</IfModule>

make sure that your desired default extensions (ie, index.php ) are listed here...

hope this helps
 

Cruiserweight thanks for your advice,

I have changed the setting, now I'm getting &quot;Not Found
The requested URL /[ was not found on this server.&quot;

I have checked the directory and there is index.html with r & x rights???
