Apache/1.3.20 won't allow a web browser to view the contents of a directory - delivers a 403 error.

Adrian Simpson, Bill Levey,


I don't know if this is the same problem as I was having. It turned 
out that I had not made a required change to the httpd.conf file. The 
change was to line 325 (I think). the line looks something like
<Directory "Default document root">
with the obvious substitution. 
It needs to be changed to the directory which you want Apache to serve 
files out of.
I hope that this helps.
Adrian
