Make sure that the user your webserver is running as (probably the user nobody) has read and execute access to all of the directories up to and including the document root (/home/httpd/html in this case). chmod 755 /home chmod 755 /home/httpd chmod -R 755 /home/httpd/html will usualy do the trick. If you still get forbidden, check for .htaccess files within your document root (which may have access limitations in them) -- of course they only take effect if you have allow override specified for your document root in the main httpd.conf. If it doesn't work, try posting your httpd.conf so we can have a look at it. k ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death." -- Miyamoto Musashi, 1645 mortis@voicenet.com http://www.voicenet.com/~mortis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, 27 Apr 2000, Brent R.
