Hi,

I was wondering if I can get some help with the following apache error:
403 You don't have permission to access / on this server.

In the apache log file, it says:
<snip> No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.04.05 LTS 32bit, Apache-2.4.10.

The apache keeps looking for index.php in the file directory where there is only index.html. I don't know how to tell it to look into index.html.

In my Apache config file, I have the following set:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>

But it still throws up the same error.

Thank you in advance

Is there another DirectoryIndex directive in your document root?

Thank you for replying.

No, there is only one httpd.conf in my apache folder. When I tried to do a word search of "DirectoryIndex" inside the configuration file, it returned only that DirectoryIndex.

Thank you

ok so what are the permissions set for your document root dir, sometimes it is just the basic permissions we forget to see.
