RE: [Easy400Group] Error 'Directory index forbidden by rule'

The URL you are using is pointing at a folder (the htdocs folder) rather than at a specific document.  Apache would, by default, attempt to give a directory listing of everything in this folder but your statement "Indexes -MultiViews" specifically tells it not to do this and thus the error 'Directory index forbidden by rule'.
You could proceed as follows -
1. Change your URL to http://999.999.99.9:8742/mydoc.html 
2. Add a file index.html file in your folder.  You may still have to change the URL - try http://999.999.99.9:8742/

Subject: [Easy400Group] Error 'Directory index forbidden by rule'

Having followed through Giovanni's instructions on manually
implementing an Apache instance (FAQ 39), I have hit the above error
on the directory where my home page is located (/www/testa/htdocs/).
I have ensured that the profile QTMHHTTP has rights to the
directories.

My config is very simple and copied straight from Giovanni's version.
Just changed the name 'mama' to 'testa' everywhere and the server
instance comes up fine. But if I run http://999.999.99.9:8742 I get
a '403' and the above message (ZSRV_MSG0356) in the log. My config
looks like this

ServerRoot /www/testa

Any ideas? Thanks....
