Okay, I have a couple of folders in my main directory but I cannot access them, when I type in the url I get a 403 Forbidden message. Any idea what is going on here? I can use images and stuff on html pages from these directories but I cannot access the directories directly
I can do this: <img src="directory1/image.gif">
but not this: http://www.mysite.com/directory1 - get a 403 Forbidden error when I try. Whats up?
I'll bet good money if you type the whole URL including the filename, it'll work fine
e.g http://www.mysite.com/directory1/index.html
It did work, but what is keeping me from going to /dir and seeing an indexed list?
no idea. I thought I had severly broken something when I got a forbidden message, then I tried typing the whole URL and it worked. I guess it's just refusing to supply the dir list for some reason or you've got more than 1 file with the word index in it's name perhaps
i had a very similar problem like this the other day, if you want like a directory list thing, you need to change the url slightly you need to add another / at the end
so the url should read
www.mysite.com/directory1/
this should work for you now
For security reasons, both IIS and Apache can be configured to deny directory browsing.

There's a "Directory Browsing" check box on the "Directory" tabs - right by the Read/Write/Execute check boxes in ISM.
