I found a simple solution to this problem: The Problem My httpd error logs (/var/log/httpd/error_log) were filling up daily with this error: Code: [Thu Nov 08 22:39:19 2007] [error] [client ::1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ The Solution I created a file, index.html , and placed it in /var/www/html It does not matter what the contents of the file are...it just has to be there. No more errors!
Just to note, the cause of these messages probably come from the mpm_common module, it's an internal dummy connection: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200604.mbox/<[email protected]> the simple solution is to create an empty index.html file in the directory as mentioned above. I don't advise turning on Indexes, although that is another solution.
