Anyone know what this means?



Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.htm on this server.

Apache/1.3.9 Server at www.wilson-group.co.uk Port 80

 

It means you don't have permission to access /index.htm on this server

 

I get the same. Looks like they have disallowed access. While they do maintenance perhaps ?

 

Is it your site ?

This error indicates that a default document could not be found at the specified URL and that directory listings are not permitted.

The solution is quite simple. Edit /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf and look for the following line:
DirectoryIndex index.html
This line indicates that if a URL does not contain an explicit filename, then the files specified on this line will be used by default. So if you are using index.htm, or default.htm as your default page, add them to this line. For example:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm
Then you should restart apache:

/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart
And you should also check the logs for any errors:

# tail /var/log/httpd-error.log
[Thu Dec 23 21:56:12 1999] [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to
restart
