All,

I'm having trouble with the fancy indexing option with apache. I've got it
turned on in the conf file but when I try to access a user directory without
an index.html file, I get a 403 (forbidden) error. the log has this -
HTTP/1.1" 403 294 entry. The permissons look good on all the directories and
the pages are displayed fine if the index.html file is present. I'm sure I'm
missing something obvious.

TIA
Jeff

What does the error_log have to say? What are the permissions of the
directories? su to the web user and try to ls the directory. Did you
make sure you have Indexes set in the Options for the <Directory> block
you're dealing with?

You sure are missing the obvious. Read all about
Apache's Options directive. I'm much too lazy to type
the full answer here.
