Apache Forbidden Error

Hi All
When i try to browse my pages in apache it is giving forbidden error.

I am using lampp version : xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz


when i browse the url : http://192.10.10.96/anoop

Apache error log says like :

[Fri Nov 30 16:01:55 2007] [error] [client 192.10.10.21] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /opt/lampp/htdocs/anoop/


In Mozilla web browser it says like :

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /anoop/ on this server.
Apache/2.2.2 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8b SVN/1.4.4 PHP/5.1.4 mod_apreq2-20051231/2.5.7 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.7 Server at 192.10.10.96 Port 80


But when i bowse the url : http://192.10.10.96/anoop/lunch

it is working fine.



That means only the folder directly inside the Document root is not accessible. sub folders are accessible.

I have given full permission to thte folder too. But still no use. even if i create a new folder under htdocs same error is comming.
What might be the problem. I would be greatful if anyone can help.

My document root is /opt/lampp/htdocs

Looking forward

Thanks and Regards

Hi Till
Thanks for the reply. But i have already included the Indexs option for the Directories in httpd.conf. The line in my conf file is pasted below.


<Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</directory>


Is it not be like this ? or some thing lese too need to be done ? Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks and Regards

Please remove the quotation marks:

Code:

<Directory /opt/lampp/htdocs>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</Directory>

 

Hi Falko
Thanks for the reply . Itried the option you sid. But it didnt work. Even after i remove the quotes i am getting the same forbidden error. What else may the reason.

Please try this:

Code:

<Directory /opt/lampp/htdocs>
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
</Directory>

 

Hi Falko

This also didnt work. I tried the Options directive with + symbol also. That too didnt work. I am getting the same forbidden error for the directories in the apache's root folder. The subfolders are working fine.

Looking forward to hear from you

Thanks and regards
