Thanks a lot Justin, I feel a steep learning curve ahead!
It works just fine with http://999.999.99.9:8742/index.htm I had assumed that by default the server looked for an 'index.htm' in its root document directory, if you specified only http://999.999.99.9:8742/, but didn't realise the significance of the "Indexes -MultiViews". Upwards and onwards with adding the CGI directives now...

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/> 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/> http://999.999.99.9:8742/ > > Justin. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of andrew_david_kerr > Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 4:35 PM > To: [email protected] > 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.
